No, of course it doesn't mean that. It means the following. Start
typing a number:
|Follow link number: 1
Continue typing number, and put the letter 'g' (or 'G') on the line
after the number:
|Follow link number: 123 g
(The space is not necessary.)
Then hit enter. Instead of directly following link [123], Lynx will
just "move to" link [123] in the current document.
If you don't type a letter 'g', the same will happen as always has
happened. If you type anything else (after the number) that doesn't
contain a 'g', the same will happen as always, too. :)
It's a rather crude user interface. Maybe someone wants to improve it :)
(It may make more sense if you are used to RPN calculators...)
A feature like this has been asked for in the past, so now there is
a (maybe ugly) way to do it.
