That's a known issue with Lynx. Search the archives
for much discussion on it. I think the problem is your
terminal no longer echoes characters right? The fix
seems to be the command "stty sane" which I think goes
back to some known terminal setting. I believe you can
type this while the terminal is not echoing characters
and it will still work.
