Re: [Lynx-dev] the reloading document error?

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi Stef,
fine suggestion.
In order to produce the best usable results as I have never runt trace, at
 what point should I run the test?
as in, should I run the trace command then go through the steps producing 
the error, or runt trace while in lynx after the error happens?
Thanks again,
Karen
