Rudy,
All of my access to lynx is tied to shell services. Shellworld mainly,
and the shell provided by dreamhost.
There is a choice in the options menu, below the send user agent check box
that is a field which I would have to remove and edit.
I do not run scripts for anything, and try not to make major changes to
config files for the services I use.
its been several years since anyone has built lynx for DOS which
remains my desktop operating system.
I do have a copy of Links the chain for dos which is a mix, mostly
because it does not read things as fluidly.
So for those not using a script, as Rudy does, would my testing the user
agent be a firm change if not written to disc?
I have no access to the lynx.cfg files on my dreamhost shell, the place
where I would be doing this test.
Thanks,
Karen

Hi Karen,
By default, lynx doesn't save the User Agent string in .lynxrc. This
could be changed in lynx.cfg, but I just call lynx from
a script in ~/bin/lynx like this:
/usr/local/bin/lynx-2.9.0-dev9 -useragent="Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X
Mach-O; XH; rv:8.578.498) fr, Gecko/20121021 Camino/8.723+ (Firefox compatible
Lynx)" $*

Hi Rudy, everyone.
Is the user agent header field saved when changed, if one chooses the
write options to disc selection?
I want to test Rudy's user agent on my office shell, and as that does
not seem to be a cut / paste box, wanted to ask before I try and work on
this.
Thanks,
Karen
