Ok here we go:
Lynx.cfg

LOCAL_EXECUTION_LINKS_ALWAYS_ON:FALSE
LOCAL_EXECUTION_LINKS_ON_BUT_NOT_REMOTE:TRUE

# If LOCAL_EXECUTION_LINK_ON_BUT_NOT_REMOTE is TRUE, and no TRUSTED_EXEC
# rule is defined, it defaults to "file://localhost/" and any lynxexec
# or lynxprog command will be permitted if it was referenced with a URL
# beginning with that string.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I do not understand this:
do this mean lynxprog:file://localhost/... ??


  If you wish to restrict the referencing
URL's
# further, you can extend the string to include a trusted path.  You also
can
# specify a trusted directory for http URL's, which will then be treated
as
# if they were local rather than remote.  For example:
#
#       TRUSTED_EXEC:file://localhost/trusted/
#       TRUSTED_EXEC:http://www.wfbr.edu/trusted/
#
TRUSTED_EXEC:file://localhost/home/rhill/boats/

Again I read that to mean that TRUSTED_EXEC applies to file: and http:
URL's, not lynxprog:.
