yes, that makes a difference, but not the one it should:
.login was doing WWW_HOME http://www.chass.utoronto.ca ,
something left from an earlier time when i was using the system Lynx.
however, i then ran into 2 further problems:
(1) having changed .login by commenting out that line & restarting,
WWW_HOME remained set to http://www.chass.utoronto.ca as before:
is there anywhere else it might be being set?
(2) having manually done setenv WWW_HOME (ie blanked it out),
Lynx 2-8-2dev.19 refuses to start, giving the message:
lynx: Start file could not be found or is not text/html or text/plain ,
tho' there is a properly defined start file in lynx.cfg ;
after manually doing setenv WWW_HOME "." ,
Lynx started with the correct current directory listing.
it would appear that Lynx 2-8-2dev.19 won't start without a start file
specified with WWW_HOME , at least on this IRIX 5.3 using csh .
i wanted simply to make a small change in the lynx.cfg default,
so that ordinary users out there always find a local start file,
if something different hasn't been specified elsewhere for/by them,
but i seem to have uncovered a bug as well, as often ... (smile).
anyone have any further suggestions?
