Re: lynx-dev 8-bit chars and LYgetstr

What slang version are you using?  What terminal type?  Do things
change if you set TERM differently?

Have you checked the value directly after GetChar() calls?

It's not clear what that 0x10F is - a slang code or a lynxkeycode.

Here is something you could try: Find the place in LYCurses.h where
USE_KEYMAPS is defined, comment that out, and recompile.  The code
should then fall back to the way input was handled in previous versions,
although I haven't tried whether it still compiles.
