If "Dave" refers to me (David Combs) -- and I have been complaining
about lynx seeming to hang at either a ^c or a q -- then maybe it
is memory space.

On my own sparcstation I have 96mb; however, I am running lynx
not there, but on a sun-something on Netcom.com, running
SUNOS 4.x.

I've forgotten how to find how much (a) physical memory
and (b) max per user there is, for SUNOS.

Maybe Virden or someone remembers how to do that (we are
all now using solaris, but I bet he remembers how), then
I can find out what I am allowed on netcom.

Maybe that is what I have been calling "hanging" -- 
freeing its memory.

(Question: why free the memory at all?  Won't the OS
do it for you -- after all, you are exiting.  ??)
