Re: LYNX-DEV LYNX reads "off" from .lynxrc set_cursor=on

No, it means change the state of the show_cursor flag to the opposite of what
it would be if this switch were not there.  When the .lynxrc says
show_cursor=off, -show_cursor turns it on, and when .lynxrc says
show_cursor=on,
-show_cursor turns it off.

This is exactly how a toggle is supposed to work.  If the switch had been
named 
-toggle_show_cursor, it would have been more clear, but quite a bit longer
to type.
