First I looked at my .lynxrc and saw it currently had nothing for the startfile so I wondered where the startfile that was being unsucessfully attempted had come from. So I went into lynx and hit o for option and hit enter on the link for viewing the cfg file. The lynx.cfg was, as I had thought, /etc/lynx-cur/lynx.cfg. But I noticed there was a line that said include and had /etc/lynx-cur/local.cfg and under the information for the local.cfg was listed the startfile which had been unsuccessfully trying to load. so of course i immediately edited /etc/lynx-cur/local.cfg and changed the startfile there and that solved the problem. I don't know if this is a lynx adaptation or a debian adaptation; I suppose the idea is to make some changes without editing the main lynx.cfg file. I'll have to look through /etc/lynx-cur/local.cfg and see if anything else I tried to do in the lynx.cfg file is being overridden. Glad I discovered this. -- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
