Hello,
For some reason when I change the useragent in the options menu it will not
save to .lynxrc.
There is a "file cann't be found" error message.
I'm using lynx in mac terminal and .lynxrc is in my home directory.
So I can add it manually, what is the exact form as it is saved in .lynxrc?
This is an old error message produced when saving some messages I have seen
for years. While saying something might be lost I have yet to see any loss
of information in hundreds of examples after hitting "y" to continue.
Is there any solution?
