I assume you mean "address" where you say "name" (or you must have a
very clever SYSTEM_MAIL command).

Only if you have saved it in .lynxrc, which you don't have to do.

Find LYgetstr(user_response, VISIBLE, sizeof(user_response), NORECALL)
in LYPrint.c.  Find another call to LYgetstr() where the last argument
is not NORECALL, use that and all the necessary surrounding stuff as
a template for modifying the first.  Or write a generic Enter-some-
string-with-given-recall-list function.

Or use tab completion, it works for me...
