Re: [Lynx-dev] stay logged in

It looks like you need to turn session files on, then enter a filename 
into the next field to have cookies save across invocations.  I just 
tried it on a site I frequent, but it didn't work, because that site 
uses javascript to save the logins, and I don't have any ideas for any 
sites where I'm a member that don't use javascript, that was the only 
one I thought might work, turns out their site redesign last year broke 
it for lynx, it used to work.
