Hello,
Please use the <address@hidden> mailing list address for questions
about the lynx code. If you are not subscribed to the list, you can
still read messages in the archives at <URL:http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/>.
I am cc'ing a copy to the list.

So you don't expect to be quoted much :)

I don't know details about the various HP-UX platforms, others can probably
give you a better reply.
You should get the current link in reverse, but it is possible that
there is some mismatch between the terminal and the terminfo or
termcap entry for your terminal type. Maybe you have to experiment
with various terminal types (like `lynx -term=...') to find the right
one.
Also check the Options screen. If configure has determined that your
curses supports color, you will find a field there for turning color
on or off, try changing that.

So the terminal is capable of doing reverse, but maybe the curses
supports only STANDOUT? (seems a bit unlikely, I think.)
Well it should work more reasonable even with that.
There is some special case code in LYCurses.h, after the line
#if defined(SNAKE) && defined(HP_TERMINAL)
I am not sure whether that is needed or why it is there. I'd just
remove that section and see what happens :)

Please give an example for this.
