Re: [Lynx-dev] ot: w3m question?

[Travis Siegel]

Hah.  I ran into a completely different error.  I went to a page that 
requires a password to access the page.  It actually needs a login 
(username and password), but when I did that with w3m, it core dumped, 
telling me "wrong data start/end pair"

No clud what that means, but there's obviously problems with login 
/password fields.  Maybe that's what you're experiencing. <shrug>

Like I said, never used the program before just now to test your issue.
