this is a common query, but as i don't do it, i don't remember the answer.
you can look thro' the Lynx archive at  www.flora.org/lynx-dev ,
but hopefully someone on the list will give you a brief bit of advice.

BTW make sure you are using the latest Lynx 2-8-4 ,
which you can get from  lynx.isc.org/current .
