I'll try to look at this when I get a chance to build the new version.
I haven't built any since dev.21. I can try to see if it works, but as
you know, I don't know C, so if there are problems I can just stumble
around for a while looking for the solution. I am not sure that there
is a great need for dired functionality under DOS, since it is simple
to shell out and invoke a program like LIST to do this easily. As long
as it doesn't add to bloat of the lynx executable, or increase the
chance that someone will accidentally delete a file, it is reasonable
to try to make the DOS functionality match the unix version.
