Make a script called /usr/local/bin/lynx, which just says #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/lynx -cfg=$HOME/.lynxrc Edit /etc/profile to have /usr/local/bin first; my /etc/profile says: PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games" > > I'm curious: what's the advantage of per-user lynx configuration files? > Different start default URL's, aliases, external applications, ... also > different colour configuration ... in general, as any other program's user > config file.
