You can get by with both "reverse" and "bold" set to inverse if you invoke
lynx with the -show_cursor option (all the possible links will be in
standout, but the cursor location will show you what you're pointing at).
Unfortunatly, the lynx designers got a bit too aesthetically refined, and
hid the cursor in the screen corner by default.

I personally don't like "underline" set to inverse; underlining is only
used for emphasis by lynx, so you're not losing any essential information
if you don't see it. I almost liked it better with the older lynx clients,
which used _fake underlining_ (almost, but not quite ;).

I believe you can make the same setting in your .lynxrc file;
alternately, get your site admin to put the setting in the lynx.cfg
file, or possibly rebuild the client.

Oh, to be able to use Mosiac instead. :)
