[Lynx-dev] Bug occurs when using tagged files inside Lynx

Hi to All,
I found a particular bug with using lynx. I'm not familiar with how the community tracks bugs, but I figured I should bring this to someone's attention.
MOVING TAGGED FILES CONFUSES LYNXWhen moving tagged files inside Lynx,  the dot (.) symbol can no longer be used as a stand-alone shortcut.Each time the dot is used,  the program interprets the dot as the source directory rather than the current directory;  and this causes the transaction to fail.For example,  let's say we want to move "myfile" to "/home/guest/destination/":
| tag -> /home/guest/source/myfile| goto -> /home/guest/destination/| move tagged files -> .| # transaction fails|
The only work around is to stay outside the destination folder,  as illustrated below:
| tag -> /home/guest/source/myfile| goto -> /home/guest/| move tagged files -> ./destination/| # transaction succeeds|
