It will display + hypertext markup language (HTML) documents containing links to files + residing on the local system, as well as files residing on remote + systems running Gopher, HTTP, FTP, WAIS, and NNTP servers. Current + versions of Lynx run on Unix, VMS, Windows 95/NT/XP/7/8, DOS DJGPP and + OS/2. + + Lynx can be used to access information on the World Wide Web, or to + build information systems intended primarily for local access. For + example, Lynx has been used to build several Campus Wide Information + Systems (CWIS). In addition, Lynx can be used to build systems + isolated within a single LAN. + +2 Options + At start up, Lynx will load any local file or remote URL specified at + the command line. For help with URLs, press "?" or "H" while running + Lynx. Then follow the link titled, "Help on URLs." + + If more than one local file or remote URL is listed on the command + line, Lynx will open only the last interactively. All of the names + (local files and remote URLs) are added to the G)oto history. + + Lynx uses only long option names. Option names can begin with double + dash "--" as well, underscores and dashes can be intermixed in option + names (in the reference below, options are shown with one dash "-" + before them, and with underscores "_"). + + Lynx provides many command-line options. Some options require a value + (string, number or keyword). These are noted in the reference below. + The other options set boolean values in the program. There are three + types of boolean options: set, unset and toggle. If no option value is + given, these have the obvious meaning: set (to true), unset (to false), + or toggle (between true/false). For any of these, an explicit value + can be given in different forms to allow for operating system + constraints, e.g., + + -center:off + -center=off + -center- + + Lynx recognizes "1", "+", "on" and "true" for true values, and "0", + "-", "off" and "false" for false values. Other option-values are + ignored. + + The default boolean, number and string option values that are compiled + into Lynx are displayed in the help-message provided by lynx -help. + Some of those may differ according to how Lynx was built; see the help + message itself for these values. The -help option is processed in the + third pass of options-processing, so any option which sets a value, as + well as runtime configuration values are reflected in the help-message. + + - If the argument is only "-", then Lynx expects to receive the + arguments from the standard input. This is to allow for the + potentially very long command line that can be associated with + the -get_data or -post_data arguments (see below). It can also + be used to avoid having sensitive information in the invoking + command line (which would be visible to other processes on most + systems), especially when the -auth or -pauth options are used. + + -accept_all_cookies + accept all cookies. + + -anonymous + apply restrictions for anonymous account, see also + -restrictions. + + -assume_charset=MIMEname + charset for documents that do not specify it. + + -assume_local_charset=MIMEname + charset assumed for local files, i.e., files which Lynx creates + such as internal pages for the options menu. + + -assume_unrec_charset=MIMEname + use this instead of unrecognized charsets. + + -auth=ID:PASSWD + set authorization ID and password for protected documents at + startup. Be sure to protect any script files which use this + switch. + + -base prepend a request URL comment and BASE tag to text/html outputs + for -source dumps. + + -bibhost=URL + specify a local bibp server (default http://bibhost/). + + -blink forces high intensity background colors for color mode, if + available and supported by the terminal. This applies to the + slang library (for a few terminal emulators), or to OS/2 EMX + with ncurses. + + -book use the bookmark page as the startfile. The default or command + line startfile is still set for the Main screen command, and + will be used if the bookmark page is unavailable or blank. + + -buried_news + toggles scanning of news articles for buried references, and + converts them to news links. Not recommended because email + addresses enclosed in angle brackets will be converted to false + news links, and uuencoded messages can be trashed. + + -cache=NUMBER + set the NUMBER of documents cached in memory. The default is + 10. + + -case enable case-sensitive string searching. + + -center + Toggle center alignment in HTML TABLE. + + -cfg=FILENAME + specifies a Lynx configuration file other than the default + lynx.cfg. + + -child exit on left-arrow in startfile, and disable save to disk and + associated print/mail options. + + -child_relaxed + exit on left-arrow in startfile, but allow save to disk and + associated print/mail options. + + -cmd_log=FILENAME + write keystroke commands and related information to the + specified file. + + -cmd_script=FILENAME + read keystroke commands from the specified file. You can use + the data written using the -cmd_log option. Lynx will ignore + other information which the command-logging may have written to + the logfile. Each line of the command script contains either a + comment beginning with "#", or a keyword: + + exit + causes the script to stop, and forces Lynx to exit + immediately. + + key + the character value, in printable form. Cursor and other + special keys are given as names, e.g., "Down Arrow". + Printable 7-bit ASCII codes are given as-is, and hexadecimal + values represent other 8-bit codes. + + set + followed by a "name=value" allows one to override values set + in the lynx.cfg or .lynxrc files. Lynx tries the cfg-file + setting first. + + -collapse_br_tags + toggles collapsing of BR tags. + + -color forces color mode on, if available. Default color control + sequences which work for many terminal types are assumed if the + terminal capability description does not specify how to handle + color. Lynx needs to be compiled with the slang library for + this flag, it is equivalent to setting the COLORTERM environment + variable. (If color support is instead provided by a color- + capable curses library like ncurses, Lynx relies completely on + the terminal description to determine whether color mode is + possible, and this flag is not needed and thus unavailable.) A + saved show_color=always setting found in a .lynxrc file at + startup has the same effect. A saved show_color=never found in + .lynxrc on startup is overridden by this flag. + + -connect_timeout=N + Sets the connection timeout, where N is given in seconds. + + -cookie_file=FILENAME + specifies a file to use to read cookies. If none is specified, + the default value is ~/.lynx_cookies for most systems, but + ~/cookies for MS-DOS. + + -cookie_save_file=FILENAME + specifies a file to use to store cookies. If none is specified, + the value given by -cookie_file is used. + + -cookies + toggles handling of Set-Cookie headers. + + -core toggles forced core dumps on fatal errors. Turn this option off + to ask Lynx to force a core dump if a fatal error occurs. + + -crawl with -traversal, output each page to a file. with -dump, format + output as with -traversal, but to the standard output. + + -curses_pads + toggles the use of curses "pad" feature which supports + left/right scrolling of the display. The feature is normally + available for curses configurations, but inactive. To activate + it, use the "|" character or the LINEWRAP_TOGGLE command. + Toggling this option makes the feature altogether unavailable. + + -debug_partial + separate incremental display stages with MessageSecs delay + + -default_colors + toggles the default-colors feature which is normally set in the + lynx.cfg file. + + -delay add DebugSecs delay after each progress-message + + -display=DISPLAY + set the display variable for X rexec-ed programs. + + -display_charset=MIMEname + set the charset for the terminal output. + + -dont_wrap_pre + inhibit wrapping of text when -dump'ing and -crawl'ing, mark + wrapped lines of 
 in interactive session.
+
+       -dump  dumps  the  formatted  output  of  the default document or those
+              specified on  the  command  line  to  standard  output.   Unlike
+              interactive mode, all documents are processed.  This can be used
+              in the following way:
+
+                  lynx -dump http://www.subir.com/lynx.html
+
+              Files specified on the command line are  formatted  as  HTML  if
+              their  names  end  with one of the standard web suffixes such as
+              ".htm" or ".html".  Use the -force_html option to  format  files
+              whose names do not follow this convention.
+
+       -editor=EDITOR
+              enable  external  editing, using the specified EDITOR.  (vi, ed,
+              emacs, etc.)
+
+       -emacskeys
+              enable emacs-like key movement.
+
+       -enable_scrollback
+              toggles compatibility with  communication  programs'  scrollback
+              keys (may be incompatible with some curses packages).
+
+       -error_file=FILE
+              define a file where Lynx will report HTTP access codes.
+
+       -exec  enable local program execution (normally not configured).
+
+       -fileversions
+              include all versions of files in local VMS directory listings.
+
+       -find_leaks
+              toggle memory leak-checking.  Normally this is not compiled-into
+              your executable, but when it  is,  it  can  be  disabled  for  a
+              session.
+
+       -force_empty_hrefless_a
+              force  HREF-less "A" elements to be empty (close them as soon as
+              they are seen).
+
+       -force_html
+              forces the first document to be interpreted as HTML.
+
+              This is most useful  when  processing  files  specified  on  the
+              command line which have an unrecognized suffix (or the suffix is
+              associated with a non-HTML type, such as ".txt" for  plain  text
+              files).
+
+              Lynx recognizes these file suffixes as HTML:
+
+                  ".ht3",
+                  ".htm",
+                  ".html3",
+                  ".html",
+                  ".htmlx",
+                  ".php3",
+                  ".php",
+                  ".phtml",
+                  ".sht", and
+                  ".shtml".
+
+       -force_secure
+              toggles forcing of the secure flag for SSL cookies.
+
+       -forms_options
+              toggles whether the Options Menu is key-based or form-based.
+
+       -from  toggles transmissions of From headers.
+
+       -ftp   disable ftp access.
+
+       -get_data
+              properly  formatted  data  for  a  get form are read in from the
+              standard input and passed to the form.  Input is terminated by a
+              line that starts with "---".
+
+              Lynx  issues  an  HTTP  GET, sending the form to the path or URL
+              given on the command-line and prints the response of the server.
+              If  no  path  or URL is given, Lynx sends the form to the start-
+              page.
+
+       -head  send a HEAD request for the mime headers.
+
+       -help  print the Lynx command syntax usage message, and exit.
+
+       -hiddenlinks=[option]
+              control the display of hidden links.
+
+              merge
+                 hidden links show up as bracketed numbers  and  are  numbered
+                 together with other links in the sequence of their occurrence
+                 in the document.
+
+              listonly
+                 hidden links are shown only on  L)ist  screens  and  listings
+                 generated  by  -dump  or  from  the  P)rint  menu, but appear
+                 separately at the end of those lists.  This  is  the  default
+                 behavior.
+
+              ignore
+                 hidden links do not appear even in listings.
+
+       -historical
+              toggles use of ">" or "-->" as a terminator for comments.
+
+       -homepage=URL
+              set homepage separate from start page.
+
+       -image_links
+              toggles inclusion of links for all images.
+
+       -index=URL
+              set the default index file to the specified URL.
+
+       -ismap toggles  inclusion  of  ISMAP  links  when  client-side MAPs are
+              present.
+
+       -justify
+              do justification of text.
+
+       -link=NUMBER
+              starting count for lnk#.dat files produced by -crawl.
+
+       -list_decoded
+              for -dump, show URL-encoded links decoded.
+
+       -list_inline
+              for -dump, show the links inline with the text.
+
+       -listonly
+              for -dump, show only the list of links.
+
+       -localhost
+              disable URLs that point to remote hosts.
+
+       -locexec
+              enable local program execution from local files  only  (if  Lynx
+              was compiled with local execution enabled).
+
+       -lss=FILENAME
+              specify   filename   containing  color-style  information.   The
+              default is lynx.lss.  If you give an empty filename, Lynx uses a
+              built-in  monochrome  scheme  which imitates the non-color-style
+              configuration.
+
+       -mime_header
+              prints the MIME header of a  fetched  document  along  with  its
+              source.
+
+       -minimal
+              toggles minimal versus valid comment parsing.
+
+       -nested_tables

+
+       -newschunksize=NUMBER
+              number of articles in chunked news listings.
+
+       -newsmaxchunk=NUMBER
+              maximum news articles in listings before chunking.
+
+       -nobold
+              disable bold video-attribute.
+
+       -nobrowse
+              disable directory browsing.
+
+       -nocc  disable Cc: prompts for self copies of mailings.  Note that this
+              does not disable any CCs which are incorporated within a  mailto
+              URL or form ACTION.
+
+       -nocolor
+              force  color  mode off, overriding terminal capabilities and any
+              -color flags, COLORTERM variable, and saved .lynxrc settings.
+
+       -noexec
+              disable local program execution.  (DEFAULT)

+
+       -nonrestarting_sigwinch
+              This flag is not available on all  systems,  Lynx  needs  to  be
+              compiled  with  HAVE_SIGACTION defined.  If available, this flag
+              may cause Lynx to react more immediately to window changes  when
+              run within an xterm.
+
+       -nonumbers
+              disable    link-    and    field-numbering.     This   overrides
+              -number_fields and -number_links.
+
+       -nopause
+              disable forced pauses for statusline messages.

+
+       -notitle
+              disable title and blank line from top of page.
+
+       -nounderline
+              disable underline video-attribute.
+
+       -number_fields
+              force numbering of links as well as form input fields
+
+       -number_links
+              force numbering of links.
+
+       -partial
+              toggles display partial pages while loading.
+
+       -partial_thres=NUMBER
+              number  of  lines  to  render  before  repainting  display  with

+       -pauth=ID:PASSWD
+              set authorization ID and password for a protected  proxy  server
+              at  startup.  Be sure to protect any script files which use this
+              switch.
+
+       -popup toggles handling  of  single-choice  SELECT  options  via  popup
+              windows or as lists of radio buttons.
+
+       -post_data
+              properly  formatted  data  for  a post form are read in from the
+              standard input and passed to the form.  Input is terminated by a
+              line that starts with "---".
+
+              Lynx  issues  an  HTTP POST, sending the form to the path or URL
+              given on the command-line and prints the response of the server.
+              If  no  path  or URL is given, Lynx sends the form to the start-
+              page.
+
+       -preparsed
+              show HTML  source  preparsed  and  reformatted  when  used  with
+              -source or in source view.
+
+       -prettysrc

+
+       -reload
+              flushes the cache on a proxy server  (only  the  first  document
+              given on the command-line is affected).
+
+       -restrictions=[option][,option][,option]...
+              allows  a  list  of services to be disabled selectively.  Dashes
+              and  underscores  in  option  names  can  be  intermixed.    The
+              following list is printed if no options are specified.
+
+              all
+                 restricts all options listed below.
+
+              bookmark

+              externals
+                 disallow  some  "EXTERNAL" configuration lines if support for
+                 passing  URLs  to  external  applications  (with  the  EXTERN
+                 command) is compiled in.
+
+              file_url
+                 disallow  using  G)oto,  served  links or bookmarks for file:
+                 URLs.
+
+              goto
+                 disable the "g" (goto) command.

+
+              outside_telnet
+                 disallow telnets for people coming from outside  your  domain
+                 (utmp required for selectivity).
+
+              print

+                 disallow modifications of the User-Agent header.
+
+       -resubmit_posts
+              toggles  forced  resubmissions  (no-cache)  of forms with method
+              POST when the  documents  they  returned  are  sought  with  the
+              PREV_DOC command or from the History List.
+
+       -rlogin
+              disable recognition of rlogin commands.
+
+       -scrollbar
+              toggles showing scrollbar.
+
+       -scrollbar_arrow
+              toggles showing arrows at ends of the scrollbar.
+
+       -selective
+              require .www_browsable files to browse directories.
+
+       -session=FILENAME
+              resumes from specified file on startup and saves session to that
+              file on exit.
+
+       -sessionin=FILENAME
+              resumes session from specified file.
+
+       -sessionout=FILENAME
+              saves session to specified file.
+
+       -short_url
+              show very long URLs in the status line with "..."  to  represent
+              the portion which cannot be displayed.  The beginning and end of
+              the URL are displayed, rather than suppressing the end.
+
+       -show_cfg
+              Print the configuration settings, e.g., as read from "lynx.cfg",
+              and exit.
+
+       -show_cursor
+              If  enabled  the  cursor  will  not  be hidden in the right hand
+              corner but will instead  be  positioned  at  the  start  of  the
+              currently selected link.  Show cursor is the default for systems
+              without FANCY_CURSES capabilities.   The  default  configuration
+              can  be  changed  in  userdefs.h  or lynx.cfg.  The command line
+              switch toggles the default.
+
+       -show_rate
+              If enabled the transfer  rate  is  shown  in  bytes/second.   If
+              disabled,  no  transfer  rate  is  shown.   Use  lynx.cfg or the
+              options menu to select KB/second and/or ETA.
+
+       -socks5_proxy=URL
+              (Via which)  SOCKS5  proxy  to  connect:  any  network  traffic,
+              including  all  DNS resolutions but the one for URL itself, will
+              be redirected through the SOCKS5 proxy.  URL  may  be  given  as
+              "proxy.example.com", "proxy.example.com:1080", "192.168.0.1", or
+              "192.168.0.1:1080" (and  IPv6  notation  if  so  supported).   A
+              SOCKS5  proxy may also be specified via the environment variable
+              SOCKS5_PROXY.  This option controls the builtin SOCKS5  support,
+              which is unrelated to the option -nosocks.
+
+       -soft_dquotes
+              toggles  emulation  of  the  old  Netscape  and Mosaic bug which
+              treated ">" as a co-terminator for double-quotes and tags.
+
+       -source
+              works the same as  dump  but  outputs  HTML  source  instead  of
+              formatted text.  For example
+
+                  lynx -source . >foo.html
+
+              generates   HTML   source  listing  the  files  in  the  current
+              directory.  Each file is marked  by  an  HREF  relative  to  the
+              parent  directory.   Add  a  trailing  slash  to make the HREF's
+              relative to the current directory:
+
+                  lynx -source ./ >foo.html
+
+       -stack_dump
+              disable SIGINT cleanup handler
+
+       -startfile_ok
+              allow non-http startfile and homepage with -validate.
+
+       -stderr
+              When dumping a document using -dump or  -source,  Lynx  normally
+              does  not  display  alert  (error)  messages that you see on the
+              screen in the status line.  Use the -stderr option to tell  Lynx
+              to write these messages to the standard error.
+
+       -stdin read the startfile from standard input (UNIX only).
+
+       -syslog=text
+              information for syslog call.
+
+       -syslog_urls
+              log requested URLs with syslog.
+
+       -tagsoup
+              initialize parser, using Tag Soup DTD rather than SortaSGML.
+
+       -telnet
+              disable recognition of telnet commands.
+
+       -term=TERM
+              tell  Lynx what terminal type to assume it is talking to.  (This
+              may be useful for remote  execution,  when,  for  example,  Lynx
+              connects  to  a remote TCP/IP port that starts a script that, in
+              turn, starts another Lynx process.)
+
+       -timeout=N
+              For win32, sets the network read-timeout, where N  is  given  in
+              seconds.
+
+       -tlog  toggles  between  using  a  Lynx  Trace Log and stderr for trace
+              output from the session.
+
+       -tna   turns on "Textfields Need Activation" mode.
+
+       -trace turns on Lynx trace mode.  Destination of trace  output  depends
+              on -tlog.
+
+       -trace_mask=value
+              turn  on  optional  traces, which may result in very large trace
+              files.  Logically OR the values to combine options:
+
+              1  SGML character parsing states
+
+              2  color-style
+
+              4  TRST (table layout)
+
+              8  configuration (lynx.cfg, .lynxrc,  .lynx-keymaps,  mime.types
+                 and mailcap contents)
+
+              16 binary string copy/append, used in form data construction.
+
+              32 cookies
+
+              64 character sets
+
+              128
+                 GridText parsing

+              256
+                 timing
+
+              512
+                 detailed URL parsing
+
+       -traversal
+              traverse  all http links derived from startfile.  When used with
+              -crawl, each link that begins with the same string as  startfile
+              is output to a file, intended for indexing.
+
+              See CRAWL.announce for more information.
+
+       -trim_blank_lines
+              toggles  trimming of trailing blank lines as well as the related
+              trimming of blank lines while collapsing BR tags.
+
+       -trim_input_fields
+              trim input text/textarea fields in forms.
+
+       -underline_links
+              toggles use of underline/bold attribute for links.
+
+       -underscore
+              toggles use of _underline_ format in dumps.
+
+       -unique_urls
+              check for duplicate link numbers in each page and  corresponding
+              lists, and reuse the original link number.
+
+       -update_term_title
+              enables  updating  the title in terminal emulators.  Use only if
+              your terminal emulator supports that escape code.  Has no effect
+              when used with -notitle.
+
+       -use_mouse
+              turn  on  mouse  support, if available.  Clicking the left mouse
+              button on a link traverses it.  Clicking the right mouse  button
+              pops  back.   Click  on the top line to scroll up.  Click on the
+              bottom line to scroll down.  The first few positions in the  top
+              and  bottom  line may invoke additional functions.  Lynx must be
+              compiled with ncurses or slang  to  support  this  feature.   If
+              ncurses  is  used,  clicking  the  middle mouse button pops up a
+              simple menu.  Mouse clicks may only work reliably while Lynx  is
+              idle waiting for input.
+
+       -useragent=Name
+              set alternate Lynx User-Agent header.
+
+       -validate
+              accept  only  http  URLs  (for  validation).   Complete security
+              restrictions also are implemented.
+
+       -verbose
+              toggle [LINK], [IMAGE] and [INLINE] comments with  filenames  of
+              these images.
+
+       -version
+              print version information, and exit.
+
+       -vikeys
+              enable vi-like key movement.
+
+       -wdebug
+              enable  Waterloo  tcp/ip packet debug (print to watt debugfile).
+              This applies only  to  DOS  versions  compiled  with  WATTCP  or
+              WATT-32.
+
+       -width=NUMBER
+              number  of columns for formatting of dumps, default is 80.  This
+              is limited by the number of columns  that  Lynx  could  display,
+              typically 1024 (the MAX_LINE symbol).
+
+       -with_backspaces
+              emit  backspaces  in output if -dump'ing or -crawl'ing (like man
+              does)
+
+       -xhtml_parsing
+              tells Lynx that it can ignore certain tags which have no content
+              in an XHTML 1.0 document.  For example "
" will be discarded.
+
+2 Commands
+       More  than  one key can be mapped to a given command.  Here are some of
+       the most useful:
+
+       *   Use Up arrow and Down arrow to scroll through hypertext links.
+
+       *   Right arrow or Return will follow a highlighted hypertext link.
+
+       *   Left Arrow or "u" will retreat from a link.
+
+       *   Type "H", "?", or F1 for online help and descriptions of key-stroke
+           commands.
+
+       *   Type  "k"  or  "K"  for  a  list  of the current key-stroke command
+           mappings.
+
+           If the same command is mapped to the same letter differing only  by
+           upper/lowercase only the lowercase mapping is shown.
+
+       *   Type Delete to view history list.
+
+2 Environment
+       In  addition  to various "standard" environment variables such as HOME,
+       PATH, USER, DISPLAY, TMPDIR, etc, Lynx utilizes  several  Lynx-specific
+       environment variables, if they exist.
+
+       Others  may  be created or modified by Lynx to pass data to an external
+       program, or for other reasons.  These are listed separately below.
+
+       See also the sections on SIMULATED  CGI  SUPPORT  and  NATIVE  LANGUAGE
+       SUPPORT, below.
+
+       Note:   Not  all  environment variables apply to all types of platforms
+       supported by Lynx, though most do.  Feedback on  platform  dependencies
+       is solicited.
+
+       Environment Variables Used By Lynx:
+
+       COLORTERM           If set, color capability for the terminal is forced
+                           on at startup time.  The actual value  assigned  to
+                           the  variable  is  ignored.   This variable is only
+                           meaningful  if  Lynx  was  built  using  the  slang
+                           screen-handling library.
+
+       LYNX_CFG            This  variable,  if  set, will override the default
+                           location and name of the global configuration  file
+                           (normally,   lynx.cfg)  that  was  defined  by  the
+                           LYNX_CFG_FILE  constant  in  the  userdefs.h  file,
+                           during installation.
+
+                           See the userdefs.h file for more information.
+
+       LYNX_CFG_PATH       If  set,  this  variable  overrides the compiled-in
+                           search-list  of  directories  used  to   find   the
+                           configuration  files,  e.g., lynx.cfg and lynx.lss.
+                           The list is delimited with ":" (or ";" for Windows)
+                           like the PATH environment variable.
+
+       LYNX_HELPFILE       If set, this variable overrides the compiled-in URL
+                           and configuration file URL for the Lynx help file.
+
+       LYNX_LOCALEDIR      If set, this  variable  overrides  the  compiled-in
+                           location  of  the  locale  directory which contains
+                           native language (NLS) message text.
+
+       LYNX_LSS            This variable, if set, specifies  the  location  of
+                           the   default  Lynx  character  style  sheet  file.
+                           [Currently only meaningful if Lynx was built  using
+                           curses color style support.]
+
+       LYNX_SAVE_SPACE     This  variable,  if  set, will override the default
+                           path prefix for files saved to disk that is defined
+                           in the lynx.cfg SAVE_SPACE: statement.
+
+                           See the lynx.cfg file for more information.
+
+       LYNX_TEMP_SPACE     This  variable,  if  set, will override the default
+                           path prefix for temporary files  that  was  defined
+                           during  installation, as well as any value that may
+                           be assigned to the TMPDIR variable.
+
+       MAIL                This variable specifies the default inbox Lynx will
+                           check  for new mail, if such checking is enabled in
+                           the lynx.cfg file.
+
+       NEWS_ORGANIZATION   This variable, if set, provides the string used  in
+                           the  Organization:  header of USENET news postings.
+                           It will override the setting  of  the  ORGANIZATION
+                           environment  variable,  if  it is also set (and, on
+                           UNIX, the contents of an /etc/organization file, if
+                           present).
+
+       NNTPSERVER          If  set,  this  variable specifies the default NNTP
+                           server that will be used for  USENET  news  reading
+                           and posting with Lynx, via news: URL's.
+
+       ORGANIZATION        This  variable, if set, provides the string used in
+                           the Organization: header of USENET  news  postings.
+                           On  UNIX,  it  will  override  the  contents  of an
+                           /etc/organization file, if present.
+
+       PROTOCOL_proxy      Lynx supports the use of proxy servers that can act
+                           as firewall gateways and caching servers.  They are
+                           preferable  to  the  older  gateway  servers   (see
+                           WWW_access_GATEWAY, below).
+
+                           Each  protocol  used  by  Lynx, (http, ftp, gopher,
+                           etc),  can  be   mapped   separately   by   setting
+                           environment  variables  of the form PROTOCOL_proxy.
+                           Protocols are indicated in a URI by the name before
+                           ":", e.g., "http" in "http://some.server.dom:port/"
+                           for HTML.
+
+                           Depending  on   your   system   configuration   and
+                           supported   protocols,  the  environment  variables
+                           recognized by lynx may include
+
+                               cso_proxy
+                               finger_proxy
+                               ftp_proxy
+                               gopher_proxy
+                               https_proxy
+                               http_proxy
+                               newspost_proxy
+                               newsreply_proxy
+                               news_proxy
+                               nntp_proxy
+                               no_proxy
+                               snewspost_proxy
+                               snewsreply_proxy
+                               snews_proxy
+                               wais_proxy
+
+                           See Lynx Users Guide  for  additional  details  and
+                           examples.
+
+       SOCKS5_PROXY        Is  inspected  if  -socks5_proxy  has not been used
+                           (for the same content).
+
+       SSL_CERT_DIR        Set   to   the   directory    containing    trusted
+                           certificates.
+
+       SSL_CERT_FILE       Set  to the full path and filename for your file of
+                           trusted certificates.
+
+       WWW_access_GATEWAY  Lynx still supports use of  gateway  servers,  with
+                           the   servers  specified  via  "WWW_access_GATEWAY"
+                           variables (where "access" is lower case and can  be
+                           "http",  "ftp",  "gopher" or "wais").  However most
+                           gateway servers have been discontinued.  Note  that
+                           you do not include a terminal "/" for gateways, but
+                           do  for   proxies   specified   by   PROTOCOL_proxy
+                           environment variables.
+
+                           See Lynx Users Guide for details.
+
+       WWW_HOME            This  variable,  if  set, will override the default
+                           startup  URL  specified  in   any   of   the   Lynx
+                           configuration files.
+
+       Environment Variables Set or Modified By Lynx:
+
+       LYNX_PRINT_DATE     This  variable is set by the Lynx p(rint) function,
+                           to  the  Date:  string  seen  in   the   document's
+                           "Information  about"  page  (= cmd), if any.  It is
+                           created for use by an external program, as  defined
+                           in  a  lynx.cfg  PRINTER: definition statement.  If
+                           the field does not  exist  for  the  document,  the
+                           variable is set to a null string under UNIX, or "No
+                           Date" under VMS.
+
+       LYNX_PRINT_LASTMOD  This variable is set by the Lynx p(rint)  function,
+                           to  the  Last  Mod:  string  seen in the document's
+                           "Information about" page (= cmd), if  any.   It  is
+                           created  for use by an external program, as defined
+                           in a lynx.cfg PRINTER:  definition  statement.   If
+                           the  field  does  not  exist  for the document, the
+                           variable is set to a null string under UNIX, or "No
+                           LastMod" under VMS.
+
+       LYNX_PRINT_TITLE    This  variable is set by the Lynx p(rint) function,
+                           to the Linkname:  string  seen  in  the  document's
+                           "Information  about"  page  (= cmd), if any.  It is
+                           created for use by an external program, as  defined
+                           in  a  lynx.cfg  PRINTER: definition statement.  If
+                           the field does not  exist  for  the  document,  the
+                           variable is set to a null string under UNIX, or "No
+                           Title" under VMS.
+
+       LYNX_PRINT_URL      This variable is set by the Lynx p(rint)  function,
+                           to   the   URL:   string  seen  in  the  document's
+                           "Information about" page (= cmd), if  any.   It  is
+                           created  for use by an external program, as defined
+                           in a lynx.cfg PRINTER:  definition  statement.   If
+                           the  field  does  not  exist  for the document, the
+                           variable is set to a null string under UNIX, or "No
+                           URL" under VMS.
+
+       LYNX_TRACE          If set, causes Lynx to write a trace file as if the
+                           -trace option were supplied.
+
+       LYNX_TRACE_FILE     If set, overrides the compiled-in name of the trace
+                           file,  which  is  either Lynx.trace or LY-TRACE.LOG
+                           (the latter on  the  DOS/Windows  platforms).   The
+                           trace  file  is in either case relative to the home
+                           directory.
+
+       LYNX_VERSION        This variable is always set by  Lynx,  and  may  be
+                           used  by an external program to determine if it was
+                           invoked by Lynx.
+
+                           See also the comments in the distribution's  sample
+                           mailcap file, for notes on usage in such a file.
+
+       TERM                Normally,   this   variable  is  used  by  Lynx  to
+                           determine the terminal type being  used  to  invoke
+                           Lynx.  If, however, it is unset at startup time (or
+                           has the value "unknown"), or if the -term  command-
+                           line  option  is  used (see OPTIONS section above),
+                           Lynx will set or  modify  its  value  to  the  user
+                           specified  terminal  type  (for  the Lynx execution
+                           environment).  Note: If set/modified by  Lynx,  the
+                           values  of  the  LINES  and/or  COLUMNS environment
+                           variables may also be changed.
+
+2 Simulated Cgi Support
+       If built with the cgi-links option enabled, Lynx allows access to a cgi
+       script directly without the need for an http daemon.
+
+       When  executing  such  "lynxcgi  scripts"  (if  enabled), the following
+       variables may be set for simulating a CGI environment:
+
+       CONTENT_LENGTH
+
+       CONTENT_TYPE
+
+       DOCUMENT_ROOT
+
+       HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET
+
+       HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE
+
+       HTTP_USER_AGENT
+
+       PATH_INFO
+
+       PATH_TRANSLATED
+
+       QUERY_STRING
+
+       REMOTE_ADDR
+
+       REMOTE_HOST
+
+       REQUEST_METHOD
+
+       SERVER_SOFTWARE
+
+       Other environment variables are not inherited  by  the  script,  unless
+       they   are   provided   via  a  LYNXCGI_ENVIRONMENT  statement  in  the
+       configuration file.  See the lynx.cfg file, and  the  (draft)  CGI  1.1
+       Specification 
+       for the definition and usage of these variables.
+
+       The CGI Specification, and other associated  documentation,  should  be
+       consulted for general information on CGI script programming.
+
+2 Native Language Support
+       If  configured  and  installed  with Native Language Support, Lynx will
+       display status and other messages in your local language.  See the file
+       ABOUT_NLS  in  the  source distribution, or at your local GNU site, for
+       more information about internationalization.
+
+       The following environment  variables  may  be  used  to  alter  default
+       settings:
+
+       LANG                This  variable,  if  set, will override the default
+                           message language.  It is an ISO 639 two-letter code
+                           identifying  the  language.  Language codes are NOT
+                           the same as the country codes given in ISO 3166.
+
+       LANGUAGE            This variable, if set, will  override  the  default
+                           message language.  This is a GNU extension that has
+                           higher priority for  setting  the  message  catalog
+                           than LANG or LC_ALL.
+
+       LC_ALL              and
+
+       LC_MESSAGES         These  variables,  if  set,  specify  the notion of
+                           native language formatting style.  They are POSIXly
+                           correct.
+
+       LINGUAS             This  variable,  if  set  prior  to  configuration,
+                           limits the installed languages to specific  values.
+                           It  is  a space-separated list of two-letter codes.
+                           Currently, it is hard-coded to a wish list.
+
+       NLSPATH             This variable, if set, is used as the  path  prefix
+                           for message catalogs.
+

+       Note that man page availability and section numbering is somewhat platform
+       dependent, and may vary from the above references.
+
+       A section shown as (GNU), is intended to denote that the topic  may  be
+       available via an info page, instead of a man page (i.e., try "info subject",
+       rather than "man subject").
+
+       A section shown as (?) denotes that documentation on the topic  exists,
+       but  is  not part of an established documentation retrieval system (see
+       the distribution files associated with the topic, or contact your  System
+       Administrator for further information).
+
+2 Acknowledgments
+       Lynx  has  incorporated  code  from a variety of sources along the way.
+       The earliest versions of Lynx included code from Earl Fogel of  Comput-
+       ing  Services at the University of Saskatchewan, who implemented HYPER-
+       REZ in the Unix environment.  HYPERREZ was developed by Niel Larson  of
+       Think.com  and  served  as  the  model  for the early versions of Lynx.
+       Those versions also incorporated libraries from the Unix Gopher clients
+       developed  at  the  University  of Minnesota, and the later versions of
+       Lynx rely on the WWW client library code developed by  Tim  Berners-Lee
+       and  the  WWW  community.  Also a special thanks to Foteos Macrides who
+       ported much of Lynx to VMS and did or organized most of its development
+       since  the  departures of Lou Montulli and Garrett Blythe from the Uni-
+       versity of Kansas in the summer of 1994 through the release of  v2.7.2,
+       and  to  everyone  on the net who has contributed to Lynx's development
+       either directly (through patches, comments or bug reports) or indirect-
+       ly (through inspiration and development of other systems).
