Karen Lewellen dixit:
I am seeking a command line method to override the site listed as the
homepage for lynx regularly, i. e. the page that appears if i just entre lynx.
Then don’t enter just lynx ;-)
Otherwise, you can override the homepage in the lynx.cfg file.
Since you’re on a shellserver you cannot do that system-wide,
but you can copy the system-wide one into your home directory
and use the -cfg=FILENAME option to point to the changed file.
The idea is to change this default homepage, not just simply visit a
new site once.
But the “homepage” is only shown if you don’t tell it a site
to visit when starting.
It’s probably easiest to make an alias, something like this:
echo "alias 'ly=lynx http://the.new.start.site'" >>~/.bashrc
Then typing ly will start lynx with the other start page.
Easier than doing the config dance, unless you need that anyway.

FWIW, I'm quite impressed with mksh interactively. I thought it was much
*much* more bare bones. But it turns out it beats the living hell out of
ksh93 in that respect. I'd even consider it for my daily use if I hadn't
wasted half my life on my zsh setup. :-) -- Frank Terbeck in #!/bin/mksh
