It was *something* in my elinks.conf file, I deleted it and now
-force-html is working as expected.  I had looked at elinks.conf
before and it looked innocuous, there was hardly anything in it
(nothing needing saving anyway!).

Just an aside, what do the [0|1] bits mean in the help?  Some I can
understand as on/off but not all, for example:-

    -dump [0|1]           Print formatted versions of given URLs to stdout

what does the [0|1] do there?  Ooh, I've just tried it, if I do
"elinks -dump 0 test.html" it *doesn't* dump the file.  How wierd!
