Cool. I like the "." arg.
This is the first time ever I have used (I think I have just
used, anyway) Lynx's "dired" feature.
Knowing already what I would get, but just in case, I
did a "?", getting the STANDARD lynx help (of course).
Now, what would have been NICE would have been a
"context sensitive" QUESTION, ASKING me whether I wanted
the standard help, vs a list of commands SPECIFIC to
dired.
That would be a big help to even long-time lynx users
who were trying some AREA of lynx for their first time.
