The lynx_bookmarks file wasn't the problem, but your suggestion put me 
on the right track.

The problem was with my home dircetory itself.  This dates back to an 
ANCIENT Red Hat system, and was:

drwxr-x--x  32 dirk     users        4096 Nov  4 09:38 dirk

I first did as root  `chown -R dirk.dirk dirk`.  Still no luck.
But then  `chmod g+w dirk` did the trick.  It now reads:

drwxrwx--x  32 dirk     dirk         4096 Nov  4 09:38 dirk

In words: lynx seems to get my group privileges only, and needs write
permission in my home directory, even though the bookmark file itself
is group writeable.

Thanks a lot!

Dirk
