If you can set the WWW_HOME environment variable, lynx will use that as the startfile. If you can edit your lynx.cfg file, you can specify the startfile in that, as in: STARTFILE:http://thesitethatyouwant.com I suppose a command line method would be something like entering WWW_HOME='http://thesitethatyouwant.com'; lynx on the command line or exporting the WWW_HOME environment variable from your .profile or .bash_profile i.e. ensuring that the line export WWW_HOME='http://thesitethatyouwant.com' is in your .profile (or wherever bash looks for environment variables), in which case when you launch lynx it will go to that site There is also an option to launch lynx with the '-book' switch which will use the bookmark page (if set) as the startfile. (See 'man lynx' for details.) _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
