enter h for help: goto the links you find there & try them:
some will give you starting help, especially Lynx Users Guide;
also k for a list of commands ordered by key: try them too.

well, we're all volunteers -- like you --
& most of us learnt Lynx by poking around & trying things;
if something really doesn't seem to work,
ask at lynx-dev & you'll get a reply if someone has a bit of time.

Lynx has great programmers,
but the less glamorous customer-service stuff tends to take second place.
you should get the latest 2-7-1 if you have an earlier version:
all information is on-line at lynx.browser.org .

others say so too: one of the most active developers is in Japan,
which he likens to Neptune ...
