lynx-dev 8-bit chars again

Ok, I'm getting a (hopefully) better understanding of char
sets and translation issues.  Text entry and display should be in
the Display Charset, not the document charset, but the value
of a text input field should be translated to the doc charset for
submission.  (Thanks for pointing this out.)

This still doesn't explain why lynx ignores alt135 in a text entry field.
In cp437, this is a legitimate graphic character.  Is this a bug or a feature?
If a feature, please explain why.
If a bug, I'd be willing to take a crack at fixing it.
(I was in the vicinity of that code last spring fixing another bug
so am marginally familiar with it.  Since Klaus has apparently returned
perhaps he could take a look.)
