You could alias lynx to "/usr/bin/lynx -cfg=$HOME/.lynxrc" in .bash_profile. It might be better to rename lynx and create a wrapper script which adds this option. Perhaps you could add the wrapper script in /usr/local/bin and put that before /usr/bin in the users' path? I'm curious: what's the advantage of per-user lynx configuration files?
