# +++ 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.

         Multi-bookmarks    -  When OFF, the default bookmark file is used
                               for the 'v'iew bookmarks and 'a'dd bookmark
                               link commands.  If set to STANDARD, a menu
                               of available bookmarks always is invoked
                               when you seek to view a bookmark file or add
                               a link, and you select the bookmark file by
                               its letter token in that menu.  If set to
                               ADVANCED, you instead are prompted for the
                               letter of the desired bookmark file, but can
                               enter '=' to invoke the STANDARD selection
                               menu, or RETURN for the default bookmark file.

         Bookmark file      -  If non-empty and multi-bookmarks is OFF, it
                               specifies your default 'Bookmark file'.
                               If multi-bookmarks is STANDARD or ADVANCED,
                               entering 'B' will invoke a menu in which you
                               can specify the filepaths and descriptions
                               of up to 26 bookmark files.  The filepaths
                               must be from your home directory, and begin
                               with dot-slash (./) if subdirectories are
                               included (e.g, ./BM/lynx_bookmarks.html).
                               Lynx will create bookmark files when you
                               first 'a'dd a link, but any subdirectories
                               in the filepath must already exist.

         FTP sort criteria  -  This option allows you to specify how files
                               will be sorted within FTP listings.  The
                               current options include "By Filename",
                               "By Size", "By Type", and "By Date".

         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.  Your 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 and/or Asian (CJK)
                               characters into viewable characters and should
                               be set in relation to your terminal's character
                               set if you will be viewing such characters with
                               Lynx.  You must have the selected character set
                               installed on your terminal.

         Raw 8-bit or CJK   -  Toggles whether 8-bit characters are assumed to
         mode                  correspond with the selected character set and
                               therefore are processed without translation via
                               the ISO Latin 1 conversion tables.  Should be
    	                   ON by default when the selected character set is
                               ISO Latin 1, or is one of the Asian (CJK) sets
                               and the 8-bit characters are Kanji multibytes.
                               Should be OFF for the other character sets, but
                               can be turned ON when there's a match, e.g., the
                               document's charset is ISO-8859-2 and ISO Latin 2
                               has been selected.  Should be OFF when an Asian
                               (CJK) set is selected but the document is
                               ISO-8850-1.  The setting also can be toggled via
                               the RAW_TOGGLE command, normally mapped to '@',
                               and at startup via the -raw switch.

         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.

         VI keys           -   If set to 'ON' then the lowercase h, j, k, and l,
                               keys will be mapped to left-arrow, down-arrow,
    			   up-arrow, and right-arrow, respectively.  The
                               uppercase H, J, K, and L keys remain mapped to
                               their configured bindings (normally HELP, JUMP,
                               KEYMAP, and LIST, respectively).

         Emacs keys        -   If set to 'ON' then the CTRL-P, CTRL-N, CTRL-F,
                               and CTRL-B keys will be mapped to up-arrow,
                               down-arrow, right-arrow,  and left-arrow,
                               respectively.  Otherwise, they remain mapped
                               to their configured bindings (normally UP_TWO
                               lines, DOWN_TWO lines, NEXT_PAGE, and PREV_PAGE,
                               respectively).

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

         Popups for select -   Lynx normally uses a popup window for the
         fields                OPTIONs in form SELECT fields when the field
                               does not have the MULTIPLE attribute specified,
                               and thus only one OPTION can be selected.  The
                               use of popup windows can be disabled by changing
                               this setting to OFF, in which case the OPTIONs
                               will be rendered as a list of radio buttons.
                               Note that if the SELECT field does have the
                               MULTIPLE attribute specified, the OPTIONs always
                               are rendered as a list of checkboxes.

         Keypad mode  -        This option gives the choice between navigating
                               with the keypad (as arrows; see Lynx Navigation)
                               and having every link numbered (numbered links)
    			   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.

         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.

         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 is displayed here.
                               Changes may be disallowed via the -restrictions
                               switch.  Otherwise, the header can be changed
                               temporarily to a string such as L_y_n_x/2.7 for
                               access to sites which discriminate against Lynx
                               based on checks for the presence of "Lynx" in the
                               header. If changed during a Lynx session, the
                               default User-Agent header can be restored by
                               deleting the modified string in the Options Menu.
                               Whenever the User-Agent header is changed, the
                               current document is reloaded, with the no-cache
                               flags set, on exit from the Options Menu.  Changes
                               of the header are not saved in the RC file.
                               NOTE that Netscape Communications Corp. has
                               claimed that false transmissions of "Mozilla" as
                               the User-Agent are a copyright infringement, which
                               will be prosecuted.  DO NOT misrepresent Lynx as
                               Mozilla.  The Options Menu issues a warning about
                               possible copyright infringement whenever the header
                               is changed to one which does not include "Lynx" or
                               "lynx".

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