The problem is that I've got no clue how to go about installing the
patch; Does anyone have any ideas?

You could file a wishlist bug against gpm, sending this patch. It
has a decent chance of working, since gpm is currently at 1.19.6,
and the patch is for 1.19.3.

One useful trick in lynx is to switch the keypad mode to "links are
numbered". Then you can just type the number and hit enter instead
of having to laboriously cursor down to the one you want. It's not
as much of a speed-up now as it was when I was using lynx remotely
over a 1200 bps modem, but it's still handy.
