Ok, here's what works; three lines involved, though I'm not sure the NO_REFEReR_fILE line matters; didn't hurt anyway. Peter, you might consider placing this somewhere prominent on the website! also, you still haven't dealt with my question about the necessity of the "unpack tool" yet; if you don't know, that's ok. But I'd appreciate an answer or a message saying that somebody will get back to me with the answer soon. Here are the important lines in the lynx.cfg file; I tried this and it worked with searching-and-downloading, not just the demo page. NO_REFERER_HEADER:FALSE NO_FILE_REFERER:FALSE REFERER_WITH_QUERY:PARTIAL I do appreciate that you tried to give some information, Peter, but most people are going to need exact information, so please put this where it can be found EASILY! Thanks.
