Yes, w3m run after pressing enter key.  However,

1) lynx's popup window appeared to select external commands
2) pressed enter key
3) popup window disappered
4) lynx appeared again for a few seconds
5) then w3m ran

and I mean, at the stage 4) above, lynx displaied wrong
characters.  Sorry for my poor explanation but I hope
you can understand what I want to say.

And I found that the problem occured very rarely,
as if where the popup window cut off the underlying
(2 byte?) characters was a key point.

As far as I know, the only one certain way to cause the 
problem is;
visit http://www.linet.gr.jp/~mituiwa/
and call w3m _immediately_

But if you do scrolling before pressing , (comma key) then 
the problem will not occur perhaps.

Please let me know if you can't understand my explanation.
