What is in the executable is a string holding a path to the system-wide
lynx.cfg file.  Not the whole lynx.cfg file.  In addition, the program
checks the user's account for another lynx.cfg file and updates the
configuration instructions therefrom.  Read the comments in userdefs.h
and lynx.cfg .  You can find representative copies of these files in
a distribution breakout at the distribution site.  Sniff around a little.
It's there.

To reach the distribution site
Start at http://lynx.browser.org/ 
and follow the link for 2.7.1.
