If you go to the options menu and set user_mode to ADVANCED, you will get
the URL of the current page at the bottom of your screen.

You can also set it by editing $HOME/.lynxrc, which contains
nice comments about the use of each option.

(I learned lynx for the first time a couple weeks ago and thought
ADVANCED was more more useful than NOVICE, even for novices.)

I don't quite understand the scenario in your mail.
If you want to look at a previously selected link, you don't need to save
and delete bookmarks.  You can use the backspace command to bring up a
history page.  This contains links to all the links
you followed.

Hope that helps.
