I know it would be a lot of work, but you might want to move Lynx to a
top-level directory, or at least one which doesn't require quotation
marks because of its internal spaces, such as c:\progra~1 which really
means "c:\program files" . Lynx is not 100% fully aware of Win95
filenames and their shortened versions. Alternatively, you could try
setting the Home and Lynx-cfg variables with their arguments in quote
marks so they can have the directory names that contain spaces.
Actually, the way I run Lynx is to have my batch file CD into the Lynx
directory, which is c:\lynx_32 in my case. The other thing: Make sure
the c:\temp directory actually exists. If you take that temp line out
of the lynx.bat file, most Windows installations will have their temp
space in c:\windows\temp or somewhere else set in the autoexec.bat
file. At a DOS prompt, before running Lynx, type Set and find out what
environment variables are already set. There may be some advantage to
setting a temp space especially for Lynx, but it's not strictly
necessary. It is also possible to set the lynx_save_space environment
variable to explicitly tell Lynx where its print files and downloaded
files should go.
Hope this helps.
