Thanks thomas.. apparently when i made the file.. i simply pasted " show_dotfiles=on dir_list_style=directories_first file_editor=mcedit "
to a new file ~/.lynxrc .. which my default umask is 022 if it would help, there should be a note about this in /usr/share/doc, so that if one creates his own ~/.lynxrc from scratch, that he do a chmod 700 ~/.lynxrc later.. because there's no indication of hints of doing this.. i've had this problem on a few machines, where i'd like to use lynx as a local file navigator and simply make new files but by default i would make these confugration by hand and they would be made writable for the group..i simply would need to chmod them later.. Probaby this is the first application i ever heard of needing a configuration file in ~/ to be like this.. which is rather strange.. (it would be nice to get an explanation for this..)
