-Text-based browser cannot show images directly, so we have a choice:
-<em>ignore all</em> images without ALT= text string
-(this is also switched by <A HREF="../Lynx_users_guide.html#[-key">'[' key</A>),
-<em>show labels</em> (see also "verbose images" for choice between [IMAGE] and filename),
-<em>use links</em> for every image to make it possible to download them
-(also switched by <A HREF="../Lynx_users_guide.html#*-key">'*' key</A>).
-Changing these settings will not be saved but could be made permanent
-by changing the respective settings in lynx.cfg.
+This option combines the effects of the `*' & `[' keys as follows:
+<p><pre>
+     <em>ignore</em> all images which lack an ALT= text string,
+     <em>show labels</em>, e.g. [INLINE] -- see `Verbose Images' below -- ,
+     <em>use links</em> for every image, enabling downloading.

-Controls whether or not Lynx replaces the [LINK], [INLINE] and [IMAGE] comments
-(for images without ALT) with filenames of these images.  This is extremely
-useful because now we can determine immediately which images are decorations
-(button.gif, line.gif) and which are important.
+This allows you to replace [LINK], [INLINE] and [IMAGE]
+-- for images without ALT -- with filenames:
+this can be helpful by revealing which images are important
+& which are merely decoration, e.g. <em>button.gif</em>, <em>line.gif</em>.
