Yes, it does.

Still - I wonder what the reasons are for not being able to use Lynx as a
filter (prog | lynx > output) or specify a filename other than using "file://".

        lynx -dump -file filename > output              "filename as parameter"
        program | lynx -dump      > output              "filter"
