This thread gave you multiple ways to do this: - manually start lynx with the desired homepage URL on the command-line, possibly simplified with an alias/function - create a lynx.cfg file and use "lynx -cfg=$HOME/.lynx.cfg" possibly simplified with an alias/function (which is what I detailed and has the longest-term flexibility and extensibility) - exporting the WWW_HOME either each time your shell starts up or in your shell start-up file On 2019-11-17 16:37, Karen Lewellen wrote: > I am asking the admin here to make the change for me, end of story.
