lynx-dev Question: specify a local file

[per . magnus . banck]

Hope I hit the right forum for a question like this. If not, please accept my 
apologies, I do not know where else to post it.

Environment: Lynx 2.8 on Windows NT 4.0.

I need to fire up Lynx with a local HTML-coded file specified on the command 
line.
I can acomplish the operation it on my OpenVMS system, but run into problems on 
Windows.
The problem is is how to code the file:xxx.htm specification to suit Lynx.

The local filespec in Windows is something like:  E:\download\start.htm
(which is _not_ the Lynx home directory).

But how exactly do I specify that in Lynx, so it can start crawling from there?
The URL shown in MS Internet Explorer does not seem to be understood by Lynx.
