To enable certificate handling for SSL connnections, set
SSL_CERT_DIR and SSL_CERT_FILE in your environment to the
proper values (depending upon which SSL library
/usr/local/bin/lynx uses), as described in:

/usr/local/share/doc/lynx/docs/README.sslcerts

and:

/usr/local/share/doc/lynx/docs/README.rootcerts.

You may also need to generate keys and certificates as
described in the latter document and your SSL documentation.

#4/4 enforcing Caps, no period

[Has anyone figured-out what makes the number 393 so interesting to PW, now?]

I wonder what was going through Jordan's head during his infamous
$Id$-smashing commit.

Before I forget....

WTF did "alphanumeric" mean, anyways?  Netscape is alphanumeric-oriented, too...  Lynx's defining feature is that it is alphanumeric limited.
