Re: [Lynx-dev] changing lynx default homepage from the comand line?

[dan d.]

Your best bet would be to set an alias with all commandline optionss desired, 
including the start url.

This alias could be put in a local to your account .bashrc or .bash_profile, or 
similar depending on the system os and shell used.

I use a custom local start.html page I constructed with the most commonly 
visited urls in one place as my start url.
