I didn't know we were starting to deal with ’, —, etc.
because they were Microsoftisms. But if we are, I prefer not
inserting white spaces, but would like to see "--" for that
character. It would be great for braille translation of Lynx's
Print output.
On another matter, I would like to see someone post a binary of
Lynx/32 newer than version 16, so we can test things with screen
readers under Windows 95. A number of blind people are using this
configuration now, because it's really quite slick. Its only
problems are with keyboard handling.
