When I attempt to shell out from Lynx the message "Spawning your default shell. Use 'exit' to return to Lynx." flashes briefly but nothing else seems to happen. Upon exiting Lynx after browsing the message "Spawning your default shell. Use 'exit' to return to Lynx." is visible between the lynx command line and the most recent prompt line.
The uname command returns: CYGWIN_NT-5.0 anon 1.5.12(0.116/4/2) 2004-11-10 08:34 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin The version information for lynx is: Lynx Version 2.8.4rel.1 (17 Jul 2001) libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, OpenSSL 0.9.7b Built on cygwin Aug 11 2003 22:59:49 Copyrights held by the University of Kansas, CERN, and other contributors.
