I don't know if this would work the same way in Win95, but my
Lynx/386, when pointed to the root directory of my C: drive,
bookmarked it as
file://localhost/../
(Lynx is running in a Lynx subdirectory on the C: drive),
and it called my D: root directory
file://localhost/d:/
There are probably shorter names, but since Lynx generated them, I
figure they might be more likely to work.
These URL's don't work in Internet Explorer, because I E never heard
of localhost. I use my Lynx_boo.htm file as a start file for I E,
since I will often want to get two different views of a site.
