PASS! Insert file in textarea - C-x i

Here is a little textarea for practice:
Advanced emacs-like commands:
TPOS Transpose characters - C-t
SETMARK Set mark at current position in line - C-@
XPMARK Exchange current position with mark - C-x C-x
KILLREG Kill region between mark and position - C-x C-w [3]
YANK Insert text last killed (with KILLREG) - C-y
C-key means Control+key. C-x key means first Control+x, then
key.
M-key means Meta+key, where Meta
is a modifier that can be entered in a variety of ways:
[1] "next" means the character "under" a box or underline style cursor; it
means "to the immediate right of" an I-beam (between characters) type
cursor.
[2] For entering strings in response to prompts (that is, when not editing
form text fields), some keys have different actions: TAB tries to
complete input based on previous response; Up-Arrow and Down-Arrow
may offer previous response and next response, respectively, from
recall buffer for some prompts.
[3] C-w can only be used for editing functions if its default KEYMAP
to REFRESH is changed. This can be done in the lynx.cfg file,
for example with the line "KEYMAP:^W:DO_NOTHING". This also applies
for other keys: as long as the key's action is mapped to REFRESH,
either with an explicit KEYMAP in lynx.cfg or by default, the
key's Line Editor binding is disabled.
[4] These keys invoke special behavior when pressed twice in a row:
C-e C-e calls the external editor for changing the text in a
textarea (if available). C-k C-k will move to the next link,
so that all lines in a textarea can be conveniently cleared by
repeating C-k.
[5] Key is likely unavailable for Lynx, because it is interpreted by
operating system, comm program, or curses library, or swallowed
as part of escape sequence recognition. Binding is provided for
the benefit of those where this doesn't apply.
[FORM] In form text fields, only. Ignored by Line Editor elsewhere.
More notes
When a text input field, including a textarea line, is selected,
the Line Editor functions get a first grab at the keys entered.
If a key has no function defined in the Line Editor binding, it
can either be ignored, or passed on for normal key command handling,
where modifiers like C-x or Meta currently have no effect (see the
Key Map Page accessible with the key K for current information).

The cookies are listed by domain (server's Fully Qualified Domain Name, or site-identifying portion of the FQDN), and in order of decreasing specificity (number of slash-separated symbolic elements in the path attribute of the cookie). When Lynx sends requests to an http server whose address tail-matches a domain in the Cookie Jar, all its cookies with a path which head-matches the path in the URL for that request are included as a Cookie MIME header. The 'allow' setting for accepting cookies from each domain (always, never, or via prompt) also is indicated in the listing.
The listing also shows the port (normally 80) of the URL for the request which caused the cookie to be sent, and whether the secure flag is set for the cookie, in which case it will be sent only via secure connections (presently, only SSL). The Maximum Gobble Date, i.e., when the cookie is intended to expire, also is indicated. Also, a server may change the expiration date, or cause the cookie to be deleted, in its replies to subsequent requests from Lynx. If the server included any explanatory comments in its Set-Cookie MIME headers, those also are displayed in the listing.
The domain=value pairs, and each cookie's name=value, are links in the listing. Activating a domain=value link will invoke a prompt asking whether all cookies in that domain should be Gobbled (deleted from the Cookie Jar), and/or whether the domain entry should be Gobbled if all of its cookies have been Gobbled, or whether to change the 'allow' setting for that domain. Activating a cookie's name=value link will cause that particular cookie to be Gobbled. You will be prompted for confirmations of deletions, to avoid any accidental Gobbling. is Alt mapping may also be possible, independent of the ESC character, for s./lib/lynx_help/keystrokes/dired_help.html 644 0 0 4016 6476630472 14121

Otherwise, the above commands will not be available
