My mistake, then. I thought you wanted pop-up selections to be highlighted
and not just indicated with the cursor. `-show_cursor' works on ncurses;
does not on curses (the cursor stays at the bottom).

Not seeing this with the 9.2 lynx and window packages on 9.2_STABLE or
9.99.88. With the custom .lss file, the pop-up selection is shown in
reverse video, but the cursor is not shown, and neither is the pop-up
border.

Without the .lss file, items are shown in the pop-up list, but there's
no indication (with curses) as to which entry one is on as the cursor
stays at the bottom.

You can get an ASCII pop-up list border if you set:

$ fgrep character_set=~/.lynxrc
character_set=UNICODE (UTF-8)

but, that may cause issues rendering webpages.

And, selected item highlight you can get with the custon .lss

So the custon .lss file does highlight the current selection?
