your expanded line editor looks like an improvement for everyone:
why do you offer it only as an "alternative"?

UGH (smile)! i realise you are merely amending earlier text,
which is badly out of synch with today's Lynx,
but many -- if not most -- users nowadays compile their own version
in their own machine or in their own directories in a shared system (eg me).
if you're going to correct the documentation, please write something like:
`You can set alternative key-bindings when you compile Lynx [etc];
if you are using a shared version on a multi-user system,
you may need to ask your system administrator to add it for you [etc]'.
also, shouldn't you refer to the Options Form, which is the standard version,
tho' the old Options Menu is still around for those who prefer it?
