The reason you're having this problem is because Lynx is told by your
.lynxrc where your bookmark file is, so it only views that file as a
bookmarks file and therefore will only allow you to edit that file in this
way.

You could get over this problem by enabling multipple bookmark files, or
simply cutting and pasting the url you want into your browser, and then
adding the page to your main bookmarks file if you want.
