I know of no configuration option to change the default directory -- it's
just the current working directory when you execute lynx.  Is it possible
that your admins have wrapped lynx in a script that does a cd?

If this the case, can you get your admins to change it?

Meantime, can you type a fully qualified path to the file you want to
save when lynx prompts you for the filename?
