I'm now running Lynx 2.8.2dev21 and the problem is the same: I don't get a
persistent cookie file in batch mode. That is, the cookie file _exists_ &
was created by Lynx in batch mode, but it's empty. I've compiled
persistent cookies in & set the options in lynx.cfg so that persistent
cookies worked just fine under Lynx in _interactive_ mode.
