lynx and multiline edit fields

[Luke Davis]

Display, no, but you can do control x, then e.
This will transfer you to an editor (I use nano), where you have some more
control over the text.

If your editor shows only portions of lines (lines that are wider than the
screen, and don't automaticly wrap), you can add a space, save back out to
lynx, tell it to "wrap lines to fit displaied area", then control X E
again.
You should then have wrapped lines, in a better-than-lynx format.

It's a PITA.  I don't blame lynx, however--I blaim the @^&*# web
developers, who place terms of service agreements, and things of that
sort, within textareas.
