I've always found underline very confusing, especially when you have (in
French, Portuguese or Spanish) accented letters below an underlined line.
That's why I like colors in lynx. My terminal emulator can't change
background colors either. I use this color setting in .lynx.cfg and it works
very well:
COLOR:0:lightgray:black
COLOR:1:cyan:black
COLOR:2:brightred:black
COLOR:3:magenta:black
COLOR:4:green:black
COLOR:5:brightblue:black
COLOR:6:brown:black
COLOR:7:brightmagenta:black
By the way, thanks again. Besides getting rid of the underlines with the
changes you pointed me, I've got an extra bonus: lynx/slang became slightly
lighter and faster on the screen.

.h1 External Programs
.h2 EXTERNAL
# External application support. This feature allows Lynx to pass a given
# URL to an external program. It was written for three reasons.
#
# 1) To overcome the deficiency of Lynx_386 not supporting ftp and news.
# External programs can be used instead by passing the URL.
#
# 2) To allow for background transfers in multitasking systems.
# I use wget for http and ftp transfers via the external command.
#
# 3) To allow for new URLs to be used through Lynx.
# URLs can be made up such as mymail: to spawn desired applications
# via the external command.
#
# Restrictions can be imposed using -restrictions=externals at the Lynx
# command line. This will disallow all EXTERNAL lines in lynx.cfg that
# end in FALSE. TRUE lines will still function.
#
# The lynx.cfg line is as follows:
#
# EXTERNAL:<url>:<command> %s:<norestriction>
#
# <url> Any given URL. This can be normal ones like ftp or http or it
# can be one made up like mymail.
#
# <command> The command to run with %s being the URL that will be passed.
# In Linux I use "wget -q %s &" (no quotes) to spawn a copy of wget for
# downloading http and ftp files in the background. In Win95 I use
# "start ncftp %s" to spawn ncftp in a new window.
#
# <norestriction> This complements the -restrictions=externals feature to allow
# for certain externals to be enabled while restricting others. TRUE means
# a command will still function while Lynx is restricted. WB
#
# For invoking the command use the EXTERN key. By default it is mapped
# to '.' (if the feature is enabled), see the KEYMAP section above.
#
EXTERNAL:ftp:wget -q %s &:TRUE
EXTERNAL:http:w3m %s:TRUE
EXTERNAL:mailto:pine -url %s:TRUE
#EXTERNAL:http:wget -q %s &:TRUE
#EXTERNAL:ftp:curl -Os %s &:TRUE

#EXTERNAL:http:snarf -aq %s &:TRUE
.h1 Internal Behavior
.h2 RULE
# CERN-style rules, EXPERIMENTAL - URL-specific rules
#
# A CERN-style rules file can be given with RULESFILE. Use the system's
# native format for filenames, on Unix '~' is also recognized. If a filename
# is given, the file must exist.
#
# Single CERN-style rules can be specified with RULES.
#
# Both options can be repeated, rules accumulate in the order
# given, they will be applied in first-to-last order. See cernrules.txt
# in the samples subdirectory for further explanation.
#
# Examples:
# RULESFILE:/etc/lynx/cernrules
# RULE:Fail gopher:* # reject by scheme
# RULE:Pass finger://*@localhost/ # allow this,
# RULE:Fail finger:* # but not others
# RULE:Redirect http://old.server/* http://new.server/*

.h2 HTMLSRC_ATTRNAME_XFORM
.h2 HTMLSRC_TAGNAME_XFORM
.h2 PRETTYSRC_SPEC
# Pretty source view settings. These settings are in effect when -prettysrc
# is specified.
# The following lexical elements (lexemes) are recognized:
# comment, tag, attribute, attribute value, generalized angle brackets (
# '<' '>' '</' ), entity, hyperlink destination, entire file, bad sequence,
# bad tag, bad attribute, sgml special.
# The following group of option tells which styles will surround each
# lexeme. The syntax of option in this group is:
#PRETTYSRC_SPEC:<LEXEMENAME>:<TAGSPEC>:<TAGSPEC>
# The first <TAGSPEC> specifies what tags will precede lexemes of that class
# in the internal html markup. The second - what will be placed (internally)
# after it.
# TAGSPEC has the following syntax:
# <TAGSPEC>:= [ (<TAGOPEN> | <TAGCLOSE>) <SPACE>+ ]*
# <TAGOPEN>:= tagname[.classname]
# <TAGCLOSE>:= !tagname
#
# The following table gives correspondence between lexeme and lexeme name
.nf
# Lexeme LEXEMENAME FURTHER EXPLANATION
# =========================================================
# comment COMM
# tag TAG recognized tag name only
# attribute ATTRIB
# attribute value ATTRVAL
# generalized brackets ABRACKET < > </
# entity ENTITY
# hyperlink destination HREF
# entire file ENTIRE
# bad sequence BADSEQ bad entity or invalid construct at text
# level.
# bad tag BADTAG Unrecognized construct in generalized
# brackets.
# bad attribute BADATTR The name of the attribute unknown to lynx
# of the tag known to lynx. (i.e.,
# attributes of unknown tags will have
# markup of ATTRIB)
# sgml special SGMLSPECIAL doctype, sgmlelt, sgmlele,
# sgmlattlist, marked section, identifier
.fi
#
# Notes:
#
# 1) The markup for HTML_ENTIRE will be emitted only once - it will surround
# entire file source.
#
# 2) The tagnames specified by TAGSPEC should be valid html tag names.
#
# 3) If the tag/class combination given by TAGOPEN is not assigned a color
# style in lss file (for lynx compiled with lss support), that tag/class
# combination will be emitted anyway during internal html markup. Such
# combinations will be also reported to the trace log.
#
# 4) Lexeme 'tag' means tag name only
#
# 5) Angle brackets of html specials won't be surrounded by markup for ABRACKET
#
.ex
# PRETTYSRC_SPEC:COMM:B I:!I !B
# HTML comments will be surrounded by <b><i> and </i></b> in the
# internal html markup
.ex
# PRETTYSRC_SPEC:ATTRVAL: span.attrval : !span
# Values of the attributes will be surrounded by the
# <SPAN class=attrval> </SPAN>
.ex
# PRETTYSRC_SPEC:HREF::
# No special html markup will surround hyperlink destinations (
# this means that only default color style for hrefs will be applied
# to them)
#
# For lynx compiled with lss support, the following settings are the default:
#PRETTYSRC_SPEC:COMM:span.htmlsrc_comment:!span

# FORCE_EMPTY_HREFLESS_A - HTML parsing
# This option mirrors command-line option with the same name. Default is

.h2 LEFTARROW_IN_TEXTFIELD_PROMPT
# LEFTARROW_IN_TEXTFIELD_PROMPT
# This option controls what happens when a Left Arrow key is pressed while
