I wanted to change my default bookmark file
to ~/.lynx/lynx_bookmarks.html; however, I
had some problems doing this.
Changing the value for DEFAULT_BOOKMARK_FILE
in lynx.cfg doesn't work, because the value
is over-written when ~/.lynxrc is read.
To clarify things for other users, I suggest
the following things:
* A comment should be added to the default lynx.cfg
in the DEFAULT_BOOKMARK_FILE section:
"The path to the default bookmark file specified
in the (O)tions menu overrides the value specified
here."
* A comment _might_ be added to the comments section
of .lynxrc:
"To specify a directory _under_ your home directory,
prepend './' to the path, for example:
./BM/lynx_bookmarks.html"
* The (O)ptions screen suggests that the default
bookmark file option is one of the options that
won't be saved to disk, but it will be saved.
* The (O)ptions screen needs to have a way to
tell the user that if he or she wants to
put the bookmarks file in a subdirectory
of the home directory, "./" must be prepended
to the path.
I'm using lynx2.8.5dev11.
