Hi Dave and all. I can't find that anywhere in my lynx.cfg; tell me what i'm overlooking. I was able to download from the demo page also, as I mentioned in an early post. Did you go in and download another public domain book; try "the story of my life' by Helen Keller or "american Notes" by Charles dickens. I am puzzled as to why i can't find this seting anywhere in my lynx.cfg. Besides, peter's first note said that I had to have either ssl or this setting; now he says you have to have this seting. I hadn't overlooked it, but thanks for asking.
