Thanks for answering my request.

I @build again following your instructions.  This time I noticed the following
messages that may have affected my lynx executable: 

...

Again I try the Goto file://localhost/disk/dir/file.ext with the same results,
as expected.  From the listings for htvmsutil compilation I have: 

HTVMSUTILS                                                     18-FEB-1999

      1   24001 char *Ptr, *Ptr2;
      1   24002 char Name[256];
      1   24003
      1   24004    /* try normal stat... */
      1   24005    Result = stat((char *)filename,info);
      1   24006    if (Result == 0)
      1   24007       return(Result);
      1   24008
      1   24009    /* make local copy */
      1   24010    strcpy(Name,filename);
      1   24011 


Is this enought to pin point the problem?  tks
