A couple of elinks questions.

[Sean McMahon]

Now I have a few elinks questions.  When I tell it to save my changes to the
configuration like link numbering for example, it says it is but then they are
not saved once I exit the browser and re-enter it.  What's going on here?  Also,
how do you get elinks to behave properly on webpages which require a
user/password to be supplied?  This one in particular is my router setup page.
lynx gives the prompt for username/password while elinks simply trys to submit
the empty form, not prompting me and I get an authentication error.
