Me too. I have not used the cat since first firing up elinks, except 
once to retrieve some old bookmarks.

What I did was to go through the example elinks.conf file which shows 
all the defaults, and copy the lines I wanted to change over to a new 
elinks.conf file to use as my actual configuration. There were maybe a 
half dozen or so I changed.

Mine clears away the old contents once the new page is loaded, although 
if it takes a few seconds to display the new page, the old contents 
remain on the screen until then. If you get mixed contents after waiting 
for the new page to load completely, I cannot answer your question.

The default behavior is to require an initial CR on a form field before 
entering data, and another when data entry is complete. I changed mine 
to not require either one, and also to perform an automatic submission 
when <enter> is pressed on a form field. Your elinks.conf file should 
contain these two lines to accomplish that:

set document.browse.forms.insert_mode = 0
-
set document.browse.forms.confirm_submit = 0
