Package: lynx-cur
Version: 2.8.8dev.1-1
Severity: wishlist

It would be good if the menu pulled up when externals
was briefer, more like the download or print menus.
Currently it displays the full commands and the URL involved
in each command.
I know one blind friend who is confused
by this display, especially considering the mess/complexity
of many of the URLs you might call an external on.
Perhaps provision for a brief description, and allocation
to display the URL at the top, bottom or not all would be ideal.
Perhaps some switch to abbreviate the URL would be good,
specifiy how many characters to show.
This can be achieved by handling all externals via a single
script, typically a shell script, but this seems beyond 
the ability of a lot of people, and may be handling
the configuration file is all that can be expected of them.
Thanks for any consideration, even if it just to forward
this to Thomas Dickey!
