Good day!

I have cleanly compilled/linked Lynx 2.8.1 on Open VMS 7.1 VAX using DEC C 6.0
and made local specific mod.s to the Lynx.cfg file, etc.  Everything I have
tried with Lynx seems to work very well except the Goto URL with any for of

   file://localhost/disk/dir/file.ext

I have also built LYNX 2.8.1 on an AXP VMS 7.2 with DEC C 6.0 and hove no
problems with the above format for the URL.  The previous Lynx 2.7.1 on VAX
does not have the problem either.  I would appreciate any help to resolve this,
thanks in advance.  Below is the output when I try this URL:
