lynx browser: using the jumps.htm fails - error message: unknown target '?'

$

How can I make the jumps.htm work?

Using the lynx shortcut 'j' shows the prompt:

test jump file (? for list):

With Input of ? or d I get the message of:

Unknown target '?'

and

Unknown target 'd'

The lynx.cfg contains the following lines:

JUMP_PROMPT:Jump to (use '?' for list):
JUMPFILE:/home/user/my_lynx_config/jumps.htm:j:test jump file (? for list):

the jumps.htm is this:

</html> 

I tried to:

  1. test the path of JUMPFILE:
    • by changing it
    • by using a non-existing path, which gives another message 'Alert!: Cannot locate jumpfile'
  2. modify the file jumps.htm which doesn't change anything
    • removing all tags but , and
    • changing the urls
  3. using the original sample file from http://lynx.invisible-island.net/lynx_doc/samples/jumps.htm - same result
  4. commenting the lynx.cfg-line: # JUMP_PROMPT:Jump to (use '?' for list):

The installed package is extra/lynx 2.8.9-2 from the manjaro stable repositories. But I faced this problem even in older versions. How can we get this working?
