That's what I was doing. I wanted to read the readme, but lynx only
offers me to download it, not to display it.

Well, I haven't changed the global config for lynx --- I didn't even
know that there is one until now.
Hm, there seem to be lots of options in lynx.cfg, but almost
everything is disabled. The file has 3569 lines, but only 34 lines are
not empty and don't start with a "." or a "#". And there is no manpage
about lynx.cfg.
