+
+ <p><strong>Lynx</strong> invokes a built-in <a href=
+ "edit_help.html">Line Editor</a> for entering strings in response
+ to prompts, in forms, and for email messages if an external
+ editor has not been defined. Additional alternative key-bindings
+ can be offered by configuring with
+ <code>--enable-alt-bindings</code> or by adding them in
+ LYEditmap.c before compiling <strong>Lynx</strong>. If available,
+ they may be selected via the &ldquo;o&rdquo;ptions menu, or by
+ editing lineedit_mode in the &ldquo;.lynxrc&rdquo; file.</p>
+
+ <p><strong><em>Note:</em></strong> setting emacs/vi keys ON has
+ no direct effect on line-editor bindings.</p>
