lynx-dev Lynx 2.7.1 + Minuet = wacky characters

[Mark E. Crane]

Here's the short form:


Is there any way to configure Lynx 2.7.1 for Unix to prevent it
from displaying inverse space characters in my client software
whenever a screen refresh (ctrl-w) takes place? 


And here's the background information:

Hi Lynx-dev-ers,

Let me introduce myself before I parasitically attach myself to
this group like that nasty little insect thing that crawls inside
Checkov's ear in _The Wrath of Khan_ and made him install windows
98.  I'm teaching college writing in an abandoned computer
classroom filled with 286's that are slowly dying and sucking out
our collective wills to live.

Lynx for Unix is one happy ray of sunshine in an otherwise
depressing techno-environment.

However-there is one snake in the garden.  We're using Minuet, a
suite of abandonware apps from U of minn.  Unfortunately, Minuet
doesn't do pure vt100 emulation, I am told.  So whenever Lynx
wants to redraw/refresh the screen, like after you A)dd a
bookmark, every single blank space on the screen is filled with
a *reverse* space, except for the blank spaces between words.  It
looks really crappy and freaks out my students, who are used to
using computers that are younger than they are.

My undying thanks in advance and a complimentary cool "little
nemo" postcard to whomever can fix this!!!!
