I would suggest becoming more familiar with Lynx before jumping to these "fixes." I say this because what you suggest can already be accomplished far more easily through existing tools. I guess today is my day for chiding MS Windows/DOS people to give up their Redmont thinking at the unix door. This is not that country and these are not those customs. I submit the cultural analogy is apt. Please learn more about the customs and usages of unix/linux before trying to make it look and act like Windows/DOS. This is not to say that everything about Windows/DOS is awful. But, then there is a reason why most of us have moved away.
