Subject:   trouble with cookies and EXTERNAL under new lynx

My system is rebuilding in massive quantities.  Unfortunately, lynx 
overwrote my old /usr/local/etc/lynx.cfg, and there seem to be some 
changes in format.

I used to have the line:

EXTERNAL:http:xterm -tn xterm-color -T lynx -geometry 80x50 -e lynx %s & : TRUE

which would launch a new xxterm with a lynx on a link, so that I ca 
work my way through news and launch the stories I want.

It now seems to be ignored, and I don't see anything new that needs to 
be enabled.


Persistent cookeis also seem to be a problem. 

I have set

PERSISTENT_COOKIES: TRUE
COOKIE_FILE:~/.lynx_cookies
COOKIE_SAVE_FILE:~/.lynx_cookies

It seems to be recognizing domains in COOKIE_ACCEPT_DOMAINS that are 
supposed to be able to set a cookie, but not reading the cookie in the 
next session.  However, ~/.lynx_cookies shows a modification date of 
today.
