        RE: Lynx2.8.1pre6 with persistant cookies

On VMS (all versions) the cookie save file is creating a new version on every
exit from lynx, not a fatal problem but definitely untidy. .lynxrc and
lynx_bookmarks.html are handled correctly. (ie only one version, created if
necessary)

        So after a short while users will have....
LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;27 LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;26 LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;25 LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;24
LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;23 LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;22 LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;21 LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;20
LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;19 LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;18 LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;17 LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;16
LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;15 LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;14 LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;13 LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;12
LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;11 LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;10 LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;9  LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;8 
LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;7  LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;6  LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;5  LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;4 
LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;3  LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;2  LYNX_COOKIES.DAT;1  

Perhaps it could be arranged to re-write the old file if it existed.

I have had 2.8.1pre6 as our general use version without any other complaints.
