Actually I don't have problems on whether or not Lynx restores the partial
URL in the stack. However, I do have problems on Lynx's inability to stop
the URL transfer initiated by a guessing process by pressing 'z' as Lynx
does on 'exact' URL transfers.
eg: Lynx can't be stopped after I type 'cs.utronto.ca/~gt' except
killing the process.
Lynx stopped quickly if I type 'http://www.cs.utronto.ca/~gt/index.html'.
