I suspect that you have not set COOKIE_FILE: .h2 COOKIE_FILE # COOKIE_FILE is the default file from which persistent cookies are read # at startup (if the file exists), if Lynx was compiled with # USE_PERSISTENT_COOKIES and the PERSISTENT_COOKIES option is enabled. # The cookie file can also be specified in .lynxrc or on the command line. # # COOKIE_FILE:~/.lynx_cookies An totally unrelated small hint: To get the terse printer friendly page, create a file, cernrules.cfg, with these contents: INCLUDE:~/.lynx/lynx.cfg RULE:Redirect http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=* http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_PrintFriendly&c=Article&cid=* and then start lynx as lynx -cfg ~/.lynx/cernrules.cfg Morten _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
