 Lynx invokes a built-in <em>Line Editor</em> for entering strings in
 response to prompts, in forms, and for email messages if an external editor
 has not been defined.  Administrators can offer alternate key bindings
-by adding them in LYEditmap.c before compiling Lynx, and they can
-be selected via the 'o'ptions menu.  This is the <em>Default Binding</em>:
-<pre>
-     ENTER  Input complete       -  RETURN
-     TAB    Input complete       -  TAB, Do
-     ABORT  Input cancelled      -  Ctrl-G, Ctrl-O, Ctrl-C
-     ERASE  Erase the line       -  Ctrl-U, Ctrl-X
-
-     BACK   Cursor back    char  -  Left-Arrow
-     FORW   Cursor forward char  -  Right-Arrow
-     BACKW  Cursor back    word  -  Ctrl-P
-     FORWW  Cursor forward word  -  Ctrl-N
-     BOL    Go to begin of line  -  Ctrl-A, Home, Find
-     EOL    Go to end   of line  -  Ctrl-E, End,  Select
-
-     DELP   Delete prev    char  -  Ctrl-H, DELETE, Remove
-     DELC   Delete current char  -  Ctrl-D
-     DELN   Delete next    char  -  Ctrl-R
-     DELPW  Delete prev    word  -  Ctrl-B
-     DELNW  Delete next    word  -  Ctrl-F
-
-     LOWER  Lower case the line  -  Ctrl-K
-     UPPER  Upper case the line  -  Ctrl-T
-
-     LKCMD  Invoke cmd prompt    -  Ctrl-V (in form text fields, only)
+by adding them in LYEditmap.c before compiling Lynx.  If available, they may 
+be selected via the old-style 'o'ptions menu (see -forms_options command 
+line option), or by editing lineedit_mode in the .lynxrc file.
