Having specified a BASE, the HREF="#fragment" logically refers
to a fragment in that BASE, not the current document, so if it indeed
refers to a fragment in the current document, you must include the
current document's complete URL in the HREF:
<A HREF="http://www.nyu.edu/pages/wsn/subir/canyu.html#fragment";>...
Lynx will not retrieve and render the current document again, but simply
position the start of the fragment at the top of the page. When you
don't have a BASE tag, and use just "#fragment", Lynx still must
resolve it (to "http://www.nyu.edu/pages/wsn/subir/canyu.html#fragment";)
before actually doing anything with it, so using a complete URL plus
fragment in the HREF simply causes Lynx to skip the resolving step.
