Not the Visited Page itself, the _style_ of the Visited Page to _.lynxrc_.
I am saying only the form-based Options Menu should be allowed to use the
post function to write to .lynxrc.

According to the users needs, the Visited Links Page could be P)rinted,
D)ownloaded, A)saved to a bookmark page, or do an E)xternal, AND all
of the countless operations that could be done with those actions.

A multi-user system must police the individual user. Just can't rely
on _everyone_ being a good citizen.
> My opinion: let ANY lynx-page be written to disk!
My answer: use P)rint or D)ownload, or even E)dit if that is convenient.
