Re: lynx-dev Download does not Allow Save

[Arun Prabhakaran]

Hi,

   Your assumptions about the network is right.

   Thanx for the info. Yup, the downloaded file was there in the /tmp folder.
But the name of the file was a random name. Ok, I can take it and rename it. I
tried to set the SAVE_SPACE variable. Lynx offered me the path when I did the
save; But still the same problem. It doesnt save to that folder. Can you guys
tell me what else I have to do?

Arun
