I too am on netcom, also shell acct like you.

Here are the csh aliases I use:


lynx    /usr/local/nuglops/bin/lynx -show_cursor -vikeys -cache=20 
lynx_bookmarks.html
testlynx        /u13/wcheung/bin/lynxtest -show_cursor -vikeys -cache=60 
lynx_bookmarks.html
treelynx        /usr/local/nuglops/bin/lynx -show_cursor -vikeys -cache=20 
lynx_bookmarks.html  -traversal -crawl -realm  > /dev/null 

"testlynx" is the newest installed on netcom, a sort-of "beta",
updated by wcheung every few days or so

Hope this helps.
