These are all commands that require creation of (at least) one temporary
file. So you should look whether your 'set temp=' is really correct
(does the directory exist?).
FOr the o)ptions command, you should be able to use the alternative
version (if it is compiled in) which doesn't use a temp. file, if you
start lynx with a '-forms_options' command line switch.

If you are sitting locally at the machine where lynx is running, kermit
won't be useful for you. It is for situations where the user dials in (or
maybe telnets) to the computer where lynx is running.
