I had now idea that I was supposed to be able to do that.  (I still
haven't tried it.)  Is this documented *anywhere*, except I assume
in the lynx-dev archives?  I didn't see anything that gave the slightest
hint that lynx might be looking for a file .lynx-keymaps in either
INSTALLATION or lynx.cfg or Lynx_users_guide.html or the CHANGES files.

I saw the hardwired filename(s) for this in LYStrings.c - just somehow
thought that must be for the DOS folks, will look at it some other time.

Ok, I see this is in the released 2.8.1.  If I am not the only one who
missed this, if in fact hardly anybody knows about this, as I assume,
then all the effort to implement this got to waste - as far as most
potential users are concerned.

What is a SU37 key?
