Sorry, I have not got a chance to look at the patch yet but adding a new
LYNXfoo:// URL type is a nice idea: we can add *.html files under lynx_help/
dir and then work on LYNXfoo:// handling, quite a separate items. So the
first may be included into the distribution just now while the second may be
ifdef'ed or postponed for the next release depending on the code.

As for "Status of the setting" page, its layout can be changed without a
problem according lynx-dev consensus so Henry start a battle against really
minor item. Non-english speaker can also be excused for proposed wording.
(BTW, userdefs.h is also referred from Lynx Users Guide).
Another item is the growth of lynx_help/ size, can probably be configured
for a "lite" version.
