lynx & image viewing



I am using lynx in an xterm as a web browser with image loading toggled on. I
have tried to set the .lynx_cfg file so that when lynx spawns a viewing window,
lynx itself will remain active (so that I can load up as many images as I like
and keep browsing). By my understanding, from reading the .lynx_cfg file, the
following should set images to load in the background (giving me the behaviour
I am seeking).

XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND:xli %s&

and the following specification for viewer type (typical) should provide the
same behaviour:

VIEWER:application/postscript:ghostview %s&:XWINDOWS

Lynx successfully loads the image to the associated viewer, but lynx itself
"suspends" in the terminal, and I can't reactivate it until I have killed the
spawned viewer.

If it is evident what I am doing wrong, I will appreciate any advice on how to
correct. Thanks very much,
