# +++ Options Screen Help +++

            The Options Screen allows you to set and
            modify many of Lynx's features. The following
            options may be set.

         Editor             -  If non-empty it defines the editor to spawn
                               when editing a local file or sending mail.
    			   Any valid text editor may be entered here.

         DISPLAY variable   -  If non-empty it specifies your X terminal
                               display address.

         Bookmark file      -  If non-empty it specifies the name of your
                               'Bookmark file'.  If the filename is not
                               absolute, then the path begins from your
    		           home directory.

         Personal Mail      -  You may set your mail address here so that
         Address               when mailing messages to other people or
                               mailing files to yourself, your email address
                               can be automatically filled in.  You email
                               address will also be sent to HTTP servers in
                               a from: field.

         Searching type     -  If set to 'case sensitive', user searches
                               invoked by the '/' command will be case
                               sensitive substring searches.  The
                               default is 'Case Insensitive' substring
                               searches

         Display Character  -  This option allows you to set up the default
         set                   character set for your specific terminal.  The
                               character set provides a mapping of 8 bit
                               ISO Latin character entities into viewable
                               characters and is only important if you will
                               be viewing these type of characters with Lynx.

         VI keys           -   If set to 'ON' then the lowercase h,j,k, and l,
                               keys will be mapped to left, down, up, right,
                               respectively.

         Emacs keys        -   If set to 'ON' then the CTRL-P, CTRL-N, CTRL-F,
                               CTRL-B, keys will be mapped to up, down, right,
                               and left, respectively.

         Keypad as arrows  -   This option gives the choice between navigating
         or numbered links     with the keypad (see Lynx Navigation) and having
                               every link numbered so that the links may be
                               selected by numbers instead of moving to them with
                               the arrow keys.

         Line edit style   -   This option allows you to set alternate key
                               bindings for the built-in line editor, if your
                               system administrator has installed alternates.
                               Otherwise, Lynx uses the Default Binding.

         Preferred Document -  The language you prefer if multi-language files are
         Language              available from servers.  Use MIME abbreviations,
                               e.g., en for English, fr for French, etc.  Can be
                               a comma-separated list in descending order of
                               preferences.

         Preferred Document -  The character set you prefer if sets in addition
         Charset               to ISO-8859-1 and US-ASCII are available from
                               servers.  Use MIME notation (e.g., ISO-8859-2)
                               and do not include ISO-8859-1 or US-ASCII, since
                               those values are always assumed by default.  Can
                               be a comma-separated list in descending order of
                               preferences.

         List directory    -   Applies to Directory Editing.  Files and
         style                 directories can be presented in the following
                               ways:
                                Mixed style
                                  Files and directories are listed together in
                                  alphabetical order.
                                Directories first
                                  Files and directories are separated into two
                                  alphabetical lists.  Directories are listed
                                  first.
                                Files first
                                  Files and directories are separated into two
                                  alphabetical lists.  Files are listed first.

         Show dot files    -   If display/creation of hidden (dot)
                               files/directories is enabled, you can turn
                               the feature on or off via this setting.

         User Mode         -   Beginner
                                  Shows two extra lines of help at the bottom
                                  of the screen
                               Intermediate (normal mode)
                                  The "normal" statusline messages appear.
                               Advanced
                                  The URL is shown on the statusline.

          User Agent        -  The header string which Lynx sends to servers
                               to indicate the User-Agent. It cannot be changed.
                               Users often request ability to change it so that
                               they can indicate other agents to servers which
                               return different documents based on the User-Agent.
                               Netscape Communications Corp. has indicated that it
                               considers false transmissions of "Mozilla" as the
                               User-Agent to be a copyright infringement, which
                               will be prosecuted.

         Local execution   -   If set to 'ON', Lynx will locally execute
         links                 commands contained inside of links.  This
                               can be HIGHLY DANGEROUS so it is recommended
                               that they remain 'ALWAYS OFF' unless
                               otherwise set by your system administrator.
                               This option may not be available on most
                               versions of Lynx.
