A couple of elinks questions.

[Charles Hallenbeck]

Hi Shaun,

The failure to save the options happened to me too, and rather than 
solve the problem, I avoided it by editing the initial file and adding 
selected statements taken from the sample elinks.conf.

Be careful not to press enter when on a form field such as the username 
and password, but move from field to field with up or down arrows, 
pressing enter only when you want to submit the form. In other words, if 
you are on the username field, press down arrow to the password field, 
enter "admin" or whatever, and then press enter. Mine worked fine on my 
Linksys router.
