Hi Wes,
I use lynx in a similar way in a perl script and found taht even
with the -term= argument, unless environment variable TERM was set to
something 'acceptable' it still wouldn't work. If i exported TERM=vt100
before calling lynx then everything worked as expected. I guess that's a
bug really but it's pretty easy to work around.
