A timeout I guess, or let a key interrupt current operation. I don't
know, but C-c seems a bit "violent" to me, say, if you'd just like to go
back some time.

Maybe this could be just "wishlist" then, but my thought was what if any
web server you visit can force you to exit lynx? Isn't this a security
problem?
