You have something bizarrely wrong on your machine. Lynx works perfectly in an xterm without any keymapping, it's a curses application so it should do and it does. I suspect you have something forcing TERM=CONS25 into the environment - you'd be well served by finding and removing it. Nothing apart from the curses library should ever need to care what the terminal type is provided TERM matches reality. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith | Directable Mirror Arrays C:>WIN | A better way to focus the sun The computer obeys and wins. | licences available see You lose and Bill collects. | http://www.sohara.org/
