Karen.
Building a lynx.cfg file with the parameters you need is hardly
programmer territory, and the services you pay for certainly support
such a setup, so there's zero conflict with the service or the browser,
but if you're unwilling to help yourself when said help is easily
obtained, then I doubt anyone can help you solve your problem.
Sometimes, it's necessary to implement your own solutions. Commercial
companies aren't going to do it for you, and since both lynx and your
two companies provide the avenue to solve the problem, if you're not
interested in taking the option, then that's fine, but you need to know
that your continued refusal to craft a solution for yourself certainly
won't help now or in the future.

Travis,
it may be so that I could do this, but I have no desire to do this.
I pay two companies good money to maintain the stability of my
services. the last thing I wish to do is risk damaging that
functionality by tampering with the foundational file of the browser I
use countless times a day.
That is me, I respect those who are programmers at heart, but I am not
one of them.
Besides, Rudy illustrated that I will not gain my single goal by
taking these steps.
Certainly, I might pay a programmer good money to build a current Lynx
for DOS package, allowing me to run Lynx from my desktop, and giving
me a personal
lynx.cft that way.
Otherwise, I prefer leaving things as they are here.

You can easily create your own lynx.cfg file, put it in your home
directory, then start lynx with a -cfg=<filename> command line
parameter, and poof, you have full control over your lynx
configuration, no need to depend on the system wide one at all.

Russell,
Because my access to lynx is tied to a service, I do not edit their
lynx.cfg files.
In fact, I do not even know where they are kept.
