Yes, I saw that on the  man  page.  It "toggles Set-Cookies header"--as if
that meant anything.

There's no other  man  reference to cookies (nor that mysterious "header"); 
and the help within Lynx seems to consist of the philosophy of cookie
programming--interesting to some, I'm sure, but not what we ignorant users
*need*. 

Thanks for your reply.  I am already profoundly grateful to the Lynx
developers for making the Web available to me and my '80s-style rig. 
Let's hope they hear our plaintive cries for succor.
