access enhancement contained in 13 june lynx update/patch

[BLINUX Documentation Project <oedipus leb net>]

aloha, y'all!

an important accessibility enhancement that places the cursor on the
first character of an item in a select option pop-up menu, thereby
allowing the speech user to read _only_ the currently selected option
when navigating a pop-up menu and/or making it easier for the braille user
to read the currently selected option, was added to the 13 june update/patch
file for Lynx 2.7.1

a listing of the CHANGES added to fotemods.zip since the last update
announcement follows:

1997-06-13
* Tweak of yesterday's LYGetFile.c mods.  Lost a lynx_edit_mode = FALSE
  statement that is still needed when DIRED_SUPPORT is defined. - FM
* Mods in LYForms.c so that the cursor is positioned at the left of the
  current option in select popup windows when show_cursor is on, as when
  the cursor is used to indicate the current link in the main document.
  This is important when Lynx is used with a speech or braille interface,
  or a terminal which does not respond to the highlighting/color for the
  current option.  When show_cursor is off, the cursor is still positioned
  to the right of the current option for curses, and is fully "hidden" in
  the lower right corner for slang, so that the hightlighting or color of
  the current option can be used without the distraction of a blinking
  cursor in the left-to-right reading field. - FM
* Added ability to change the show_cursor setting via the 'o'ptions menu
  and to save that as the default in the RC file (otherwise, the default
  is still that set in userdefs.h or lynx.cfg).  The -show_cursor command
  line switch toggles the default, however obtained, homologously to the
  -popup toggle.  Updated the online 'h'elp accordingly (option_help.html
  and Lynx_users_guide.html). - FM
