I'll say it again: store it in .lynxrc, and then,
when lynx starts up, throw up a special screen
that says in HUGE letters that you have this ficticious
browser-name, and ASK whether he/she wants to KEEP it
for THIS session, and make him respond with
either n for no or YES (three chars) for yes.
That should satisfy everyone.
