I can run lynx from that directory no problem.  You might have a problem
if you try to use that for ini directories and stuff though.  Just use the
short name of c:\progra~1\lynx\lynx.exe (or whatever).  Sometimes this
type of problem crops up because Win95 doesn't truely support long file
names--it just pretends to.  Check the regestry and see all the entries
using the short file names :-(
