such a things may be a problem on DOS where the space for environment variables
limited ("Out of environment space").

I see a logical hole here:
INSTALLATION file written very clear but it is not supplied even within
"extra documentation files" (install-doc), supposed for compilation process
only. While the environment variables info useful at run time and it is
a bad idea to force user to download lynx sources to read about environments...

Environments info may be a separate page linked from lynx_user_guide.html:
I think it of the same level of complexity as the command-line options list
(currently included in user guide and other docs).
