A wishlist item actually.
I'm saying that there is a directory in /tmp that should reveal via
its name that it was created by lynx (and not by e.g., gimp), that's all.
Let's look around /tmp on my computer:
orbit-jidanni/ esrv1000-jidanni1= ssh-szuwiB1755/ gconfd-jidanni/
See, the trend these days is to put what program made the dir out in front.

Yes. I'll send this directly too and see if I am still/ever was subscribed.
