lynx-dev lynx 2.8.3dev.4 and signals

[Larry W. Virden]

Okay.  I am trying out our signaling problem today with a different
configuration (I'll try the original configuration tonite when I get  home.)

UltraSPARC Solaris 2.6, Sun C compiler, ncurses 5.0 patched thru 990710 .
I can send along all sorts of config info to someone if they want it.

I did a make distclean and then configured and build fresh.

I take the following steps:

./lynx http://purl.org/thecliff/tcl/wiki/Grapffit
I then select the "Edit Graffiti" link (it was link number 13 when I chose it)
This puts me on a dynamically generated form with a textarea.  I enter
the textarea (link 2) and type the keystroke to enter my default editor
(^V^Ve).
Now I am in nvi.  I press ^Z. A ps reveals:

$ ps
   PID TTY      TIME CMD
 28225 pts/3    0:00 lynx
   940 pts/3    0:11 ksh
  1103 pts/3    0:01 netscape
  1102 pts/3   38:37 netscape
 28246 pts/3    0:00 nvi
 28245 pts/3    0:00 sh

I type a fg to return to nvi.  I see:

making a change.  I see:

   * do nested lists
        *   * work ?

JC: nope, not yet.  ''They will, though.''  You can indent by multiples of 3 spa
ces if you want.  When it's fixed, they will show up correctly (bulleted, number
ed, and itemized).

----
LV: JC, is the number of spaces significant for bulleting?

JC: yes, three spaces per indent (or a tab, but they are a big problem on some b
rowsers).  I followed a convention I saw in some other Wiki implementations.
:q                                                                      
(Textarea) Enter text. Use UP/DOWN arrows or TAB to move off (^Ve for editor).

I press an Up arrow.  I type ^L.  I see the original page again.
