Did some further updates on the Archive site today, and again came up
against this fails-to-reload problem. Neither ^F5 or ^R or the
buttonbar route do the trick: old page always reappears.

Then an Aha moment. My change was to the contents of a FRAME within
the page.

Is there any way to cause a frame to reload? Do the powers of ^F5 etc
need to be extended?

Still using Netsurf #3433 here, on Armini 5.22 and ArmX6 5.23 -- I
promise to fetch newest version this weekend.


(As for frames, I see their disadvantages. The Archive site was
maintained for 15 years by a volunteer member, who designed it when
frames were in fashion. Sad to say, he died at Christmas.)
