From within Lynx, you can go to the [O]ptions menu and change the options for both the "Show Cursor" option and the "Keypad Mode". Make sure you've checked the box at the top for "Save Options to Disk", and then use the "Accept Changes" to write the options to your ~/.lynxrc Frustrated that not all options in the /etc/lynx.cfg file can be controlled/overridden via the .lynxrc, I tend to use alias lynx='lynx -cfg=~/.lynx.cfg' in my .bash_aliases file and then save my modified copy of /etc/lynx.cfg as ~/.lynx.cfg That way, I can control things like the colors, the message timeouts, and the TEXTFIELDS_NEED_ACTIVATION setting which the .lynxrc file doesn't give you access to. However, if all you need are the above two items, the .lynxrc file can control them just fine and uses the [O]ptions interface. -tim
