If lynx thinks there's no color-style file, it'll construct a style from the "COLOR" settings that mimics the non-color-style. (It's done that way intentionally, to let most of the people who want the old style to use it). > TD> The "oldlynx" script (which may be part of the package) suppresses the > TD> color-style file, which makes it look very close to the old version. > > ok, but how do i make it recognize this, or...? my apologies, i'm > a bit lost on what to do next. The original text (removing the "> TD> " for instance) is a shell script named "oldlynx" in the samples directory of lynx, e.g., http://lynx.isc.org/lynx2.8.6/lynx2-8-6/samples/oldlynx The script constructs a temporary copy of lynx.cfg, overrides a few settings to produce a screen that looks much like the non-color-style lynx. > TD> For reference (the script): ... I named it "oldlynx" to make it very simple; with some minor tinkering it could be named "lynx" and told to run "lynx.cur", for example. -- Thomas E.
