+ * them to make them more appropriate for your site.  We recommend that
+ * you extend these definitions to other languages using the gettext
+ * library.  There are also scattered uses of 'gettext()' throughout the
+ * Lynx source, covering all but those messages which (a) are used for
+ * debugging (CTRACE) or (b) are constants used in interaction with
+ * other programs.

  *
- * You can substitute one of those as LYMessages_en.h, or modify
- * the header inclusion statement in your userdefs.h to include
- * one of those with a different name.
+ * Because the gettext facility is only recently (with release 2.8.2)
+ * introduced, these alternate definitions are given as variants on this
+ * file.  Use them as a starting point to construct a new message
+ * library as needed.  (see po/readme).
