Re: lynx-dev suggestions for new features

[Mark H. Wood]

Um, ESC would be difficult to get right.  ANS X3.64 uses it a lot, 
y'know.  Somebody went to a *lot* of trouble to make emacs work right on 
X3.64-compliant terminals (VT1xx/2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx and hundreds of clones).

I'm not saying, "don't use ESC"; I'm recommending that anyone considering 
ESC look very carefully at all the things it's already used for and judge 
thoughtfully just how much work it will take to do a correct implementation.
