        More generally, it would be a good idea to read the INSTALLATION
file and the files to which it directs them, most importantly, userdefs.h
lynx.cfg, mime.types, and mailcap (PROBLEMS and lynx.com are good ones
to read too).  The Lynx_Dir logical directory is used for a number of
files, and must be set up properly for Lynx to work properly on VMS.
