OK, you are going to have to go into the /etc/lynx/cfg file.  There is line near the top like this:

STARTFILE:<URL>

I suggest using a local file (else lynx won't start if you net connection is down) so:

STARTFILE:file://localhost/path/to/file.html

alternatively you can specify a URL on the command line:

bash$ lynx http://www.debian.org

Basic lynx navigation:

down arrow key		Go to next link
up arrow key		Go to previous link
Right arrow		Follow link
Left arrow		Previous page
Space bar		next screen (page down)
- (dash)		previous screen (page up)
k			Key Binding list (use left arrow to return to browsing)
?			HELP

Before I catch too many flames on this one...
Lynx handles frams by providing links to the pages that are in the frames, it does not display frames.  But allowing you to navagate them is a big plus.

HTH,
