This should be worked in for anonymous accounts.
lynx.cfg is unavailable for such users, shell invocation "!"
can be easily disabled with command line switch,
but changing the editor in options menu seems still an open
possibility.

We have a switch -restriction=editor which restrict any editing totally
(how about sending mail?), but we have no switch to restrict
changing the editor name like we have with bookmarks
(see -restriction=bookmark). Probably we should add restriction=editor_name
or something like this.
