so why not have  body.html  (re)generated at that point?
presumably, users aren't going to do this very often.

your document above doesn't show what settings are read from  lynx.cfg ,
only what the default is: or will it be different when a user uses it?
ie will it show  ALERTSECS:3  (default which comes with Lynx)
or  ALERTSECS:1  (what i set it to when i edited my own  lynx.cfg )?
it's the latter which would be really useful for users to have:
the former is little more than academic once Lynx is being used.
