The configuration symbol is SAVE_SPACE, so lynx.cfg should have:
SAVE_SPACE:~/
The environment variable is LYNX_SAVE_SPACE, e.g.:
setenv LYNX_SAVE_SPACE ~/
The tilde will be expanded to the full path via the Home_Dir(),
function, so, e.g., a file with name foo.blah should become:
/home/user/foo.blah
on Unix, or:
device:[user]foo.blah
on VMS. It's very simple code, and has worked for years, so
it's hard to even guess what his problem might be.
