export http_proxy="http://localhost:8000/";
export ftp_proxy="http://localhost:8000/";

will let you do most of your stuff (with localhost:8000 replaced by
your proxy-host and the appropriate port number).

You can also use

export https_proxy="http://localhost:8000/";

to, iirc, get some support for https:// urls, if your proxy supports
them, even if Lynx doesn't.

(replace 'export' with 'setenv' if you're using csh or tcsh instead of
sh, ksh or bash)

Cheers,
