Thank you Hal?sz S?ndor, the problem is solved. I did not know that the
file .lynxrc existed. I've made the changes I want in that file and lynx
now behaves as desired. So if I ever want to make further changes, I'll do
so directly in .lynxrc

As user, I cannot save option changes to disk, so my changes remain in
effect only until the session closes.
As root there is no such problem. But I rarely work as root.
I've changed ~/lynx.cfg to have the options I want, but that has no effect
on lynx's behavior

This last file is read only if somehow you point it out to Lynx, through
environment variable LYNX_CFG or on the command line after "-cfg".
Furthermore, it is intended for general, not particular use. For particular
use, for Options, the file usually named ".lynxrc" is the one.
If Lynx runs, though, somehwere it found a version of the configuration
file. On the option page there is a link to it from "View the file
lynx.cfg": follow the link and see the full path name.
yes... but lynx.cfg and .lynxrc are distinct files. It seems that it
would be nice to have a link to .lynxrc to view for reference, as well
as to reinforce the sense that they're distinct.
