SUBSTITUTE_UNDERSCORES in lynx.cfg or -underscore on the command line
does this for -dump output, but not for print output. I think the
optimal behavior would be for the underscore option to apply to print
output also. Since it doesn't, I assume that there was a reason. What is
the downside to having the option for underscores printing apply to
print output also? Is it that print can be configured to do whatever you
want with the rendered output, so that the underscores would interfere
with whatever process was called?
