lynx-dev default browser on W95

[tlhall]

I've searched the FAQs and the lynx-dev archives back to '96 and the only
mention I've found of making lynx the default browser in W95/98 is the
one below from Lord Fido.

Does anyone know how to do it ?

As Fido says, it takes more than an association with .htm[l] files.

I think it requires a source code change.

Both IE and NetScape have a setting to have it 'check to see if it's the
default browser'. Yet, how do other apps know what to start when you
tell them to 'start your default browser' or when you click on help buttons ?

This implies to me that some component must run in the background or
is somehow hooked into the OS...
