why do you assume it's a bug (smile)?
you need to read Users Guide or simply enter k for a list of key-bindings.
Lynx 2-8-2dev.19 (IRIX 5.3) displays a blank screen with my usual settings,
but if i enter ` or ' to change comment parsing, `some text' shows up;
the different settings are designed to handle different documents.
i looked at the Salon site, but didn't see your problem there.
