Travis,
As expressed, this question is not for me, with your answers far afield
from the simple information sought.
on the lynx.browser.org page mac os x is listed as an option, with my
recalling a list member getting help using that edition for site
testing.
However, that does not tell me what the current lynx edition is for mac,
which is the question I was asked.
best,
Karen
