All of these are correct, but the simplest method to get lynx to start at
a different site than the default in lynx.cfg is to set the environment
variable (logical on VMS) WWW_HOME to the url:
setenv WWW_HOME http://www.foo.com/ (for Unix)
define WWW_HOME "http://www.foo.com/" (for VMS)
If you put this in your .login (or login.com for VMS), when you just type
'lynx', it will take you to www.foo.com.
