Here's how it works:

Put this file "acdsee.bat" into your c:\windows\ directory:

----clip----
start f:\progra~1\acdsee32\acdsee32.exe %1
----clip----

and add these rows to your lynx.cfg:

----clip----
VIEWER:image/gif:acdsee %s:NON_XWINDOWS
VIEWER:image/jpg:acdsee %s:NON_XWINDOWS
VIEWER:image/jpeg:acdsee %s:NON_XWINDOWS
VIEWER:image/png:acdsee %s:NON_XWINDOWS
----clip----

I opted using a separate batch file to start acdc in a new process 
- it gives you the possibility to keep browsing with lynx even if 
the viewer is still open.
