I think all they are actually doing is matching the agent string to acceptable agent strings. I left out a space at one point and lynx ran with it and asmodean quoted it back to me, but BOA didn't like it. Also, it will work in your .lynxrc if you have that turned on in your lynx.cfg, but you don't need the single quotes around the string as you do on the command line. Once you turn this on in lynx.cfg, there will be a user agent string for lynx in your .lynxrc, either then or next time you save options--I'm not sure. But remember that if you change that string, the next time you use the options menu and save it, the string revers to the old one. -- Cheryl
