This does not answer my real question.
Where does lynx store cookies in this file?
top, or bottom?
I have a 425 line cookie file, and I just removed some to reach that
point.
At what size does the file cease to store cookies?

Hi folks,
Let me ask this carefully so it makes some sense.
I am not exactly sure what comprises a computer cookie, for
example, if the ip address is noted.
Nor am I sure where lynx goes to look for the cookie file itself.
Still, here is the situation.
Shellworld, where I do most of my lynx work has entirely changed its
machine and servers. A new ip address everything.
Although I have my old lynx_cookies file, and can edit it.
gmail for example is not finding or resetting its own cookies.
I am not sure if there is something in the lynx.cfg file that
addresses the lynx_cookies file location, or if my using my bookmark
man lynx says:
-cookie_file=FILENAME
specifies a file to use to read cookies. If none is specified,
the default value is ~/.lynx_cookies for most systems, but
~/cookies for MS-DOS.
lynx.cfg has:
.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
