echo foo | lynx -stdin
You'd get better results with HTML output than plaintext, of
course. Seems it always treats standard input as HTML.
Or...
echo "<XMP>`cat some_text_file.txt`</XMP>" | lynx -stdin
But that seems like cheating.
I think he meant something else though, like a local program as a
proxy, or the command at the end of a lynxcgi URL; that is, a
program called *by* Lynx to get some useful info out of some file
or other, not something that calls Lynx to display its output.
