I am using w3m from the sipb locker on a Solaris 8 machine.

w3m has a problem with forms with multiple choice options (popup menus).
If I submit a form then use `B' to go back to the form page, the options
get reset to their default values _but the previously selected values are
till displayed_. 

If the options are foo, bar, and baz with foo the default, I select baz
by hitting enter and moving down two lines, I submit the form, and then
I go back to the form I will see "baz" displayed like before.  However,
the option value has been secretly changed back to "foo".  I have to
naviate the menu again to reselect "baz".

Radio buttons and text inputs work fine.  Only multiple-choice menus
seem to have this problem.
