You can use full path to lynx to be sure which one you are using. -version will confirm. > >>> Where can I look for help getting lynx to accept persistent cookies? I >>> don't find a forum.

Make sure you have all this set in lynx.cfg. SET_COOKIES:TRUE ACCEPT_ALL_COOKIES:TRUE PERSISTENT_COOKIES:TRUE COOKIE_FILE:/path/to/directory/.lynx_cookies COOKIE_SAVE_FILE:/path/to/directory/.lynx_cookies COOKIE_LOOSE_INVALID_DOMAINS: FORCE_SSL_COOKIES_SECURE:FALSE > > Should I put the cookie file some place else, make it writeable by all,...? > > It accepts cookies in the accept list now but won't save them. The best way to see what is happening is to run lynx -trace and read the Lynx.trace file. Very early in the start up the cookies load in. You can post the trace and we can look.
