LYNX-DEV lynx2.8pre.2 patch

[Doug Kaufman]

Lynx2.8pre.2 builds and runs on DOS, with no new problems that I see
yet. I did notice, however, an undocumented change in lynx.cfg as far
as the zmodem downloader is concerned. I am not sure if this was done
accidentally. I seem to recall discussion some time ago on the list,
when the alternate zmodem script was introduced, that it could cause
problems with security or permissions. Hence the simple zmodem script
was left in place, with the alternate script for those who chose to use
it. The following patch returns the previous text. Please ignore this
patch if the change is really what was intended - it didn't make it to
the changes file.
