Let's all thank Doug for that. RIP, about_lynx-dev.html.

Only one file, about_lynx.html, has any business there, IMHO.

One man operation here. If I grepped all files in src/, lynx_help/, docs/
(the proposed one) and the top directory for "about_lynx\/" and prepared all
the necessary patches, would you still be hesitant?

I, too, worry greatly about Subir's "Lynx Links" that would probably have
to be changed.

No arguement here. I'll modify SIMPLEDIR (and INSTALLATION) to not move

that all the numbered, historical ones might be put under docs/.

Not worth the gain for two files. (Just creating another "about_lynx"

It's ALL up to you. After the new release comes out, the topic dies
