..and as it turns out the administrator was trying, and failing, to
upgrade lynx to a later edition.
In an effort to restore things, we now have an older edition of lynx then

If you log in and out daily then this wouldn't have helped.
The only situation in which 'rehash' would have helped is if some admin
moved where the lynx executable was, while you were currently logged in.
When the shell successfully runs a program, it keeps a note about where
it found it; if the p

That doesn't make sense. The hash table is internal to tcsh, and will
get built when it is launched anyway.

Hi chime,
While the command worked just fine, it did not impact things for me.
Thanks for the idea though.

I will take your word for it.
At the moment though our situations do not match, save for Lynx being
missing from what my email programs use.
That is a critical problem for me.

file in DOS, just a short cut to save an amount of typing.

At least not as of my last try with them.
My situation is also rather unique for physical reasons.
That price for pannix is more than I pay here too, and I have my site
hosted here as well.
Pannix was reprehensible when I tried to work with them.

and this is why accounts must make a difference.
As of 1:24 eastern, Lynx works for me, although be it with the wrong start
page. It is gone from mail accounts, which is disturbing all on its own.
Wonder if the Alias thing is a security risk?

Someone don't understand files ownership and files permissions. If a copy
of lynx.cfg is put in a user directory the user needs to take ownership of
that file. If ownership cannot be taken it's probably a copy of a shared

Hell, I don't know what shellworld charges (any attempts to go to the

I am fortunate that mostly I just use Shellworld for rss feeds, a majority of

I'm sorry, but you're not making any sense.
First off, My advice was to create a lynx.cfg file in your home
directory. That has absolutely nothing to do with system level
configuration files.
Secondly, if a system user can change system wide configuration files,
it's because your system adm

The system has a serious security problem if it allows a shared file to
be modified by ordinary users.
Travis,
Please do not ever advise anyone to tamper with a file associated with a
shared service like the one we have here.
I am expressing this because right now I am experiencing what happens when
someone, not myself, does this kind of tampering and not knowing what they
