I think there is no such thing as locales on either DOS or Win32.
Heck, even OpenBSD anno 2010 doesn’t have them.
<<<<<<<<
But under Windows there is section "Regional Settings", stored in the registry. 
In the oldest form these were numeral, currency, and time-stamp forms, with 
keyboard separate--none of which affects the display character set, the only 
setting of interest to Lynx. But in Vista, if not earlier, there are also 
"Locale" 00000409 and "LocaleName" en-US, besides a greater host of (to Lynx) 
irrelevant formats.

No, just different. You may have luck convincing Lynx to use cp1252
(true superset of latin1) though, 
<<<<<<<<
Not superset, because instead of the C1 characters it has graphics.
