Re: lynx-dev Download does not Allow Save

[Arun Prabhakaran]

I am able to view pages outside my proxy. Unless, I want to view grtaphics on
the web, I always use lynx. I downloaded my new version of lynx from
sunfreeware.com . But my problem as I said is that, I press the 'D' key to
download a file, it downloads and prompts me to save. Then when I give the path
to save, it says that it is doing a save. But when I check the path, there is no
file there ... Secondly, I dont know to use kermit or zmodem, although I
downloaded kermit and tried to download with it. but it didnt help, since I was
not able to do it.
