That's a Pigeonism, based on the thought of "bollocks to all the fancy
stuff". What it does is create a file /tmp/cleandoc.html, based on
dodgydoc.html but with all the <B>, </B>, <EM> and </EM> removed.
sed - stream editor
-e - next argument is a string describing some action
s - substitute
/ - this...
<B> - ...string here...
/ - ...for this one...
/ - ...oh, it wasn't there, use a null string
g - do this for every <B> in the line

Just tried blue, and it works. I'm using /etc/lynx.cfg to set options
globally as I'm the only user and it's easy that way. I've just
experimented with creating a ~/lynx.cfg or ~/.lynx.cfg, and lynx
doesn't see that unless I use the -cfg option. Which I find odd. Maybe
that's what's happening to you? Maybe there's some funny convention
about the name of a personal lynx.cfg of which both of us are unaware?
