As Fote would say, Louis Mandelstam wrote to me instead of the list.
I am copying the list on this non-answer.  Hope someone else can 
be more help.

  Subject: Using Lynx -post_data option
  Message-ID: <address@hidden>
  
  Good day.
  
  I'm having a hard time getting a certain form page to work with Lynx's
  -post_data facility.
  
  I hope you'll be able and willing to help me, as I don't seem to be having
  much luck with what I'm trying to do.
  
  If I send the input:  [mtn-sms-form.txt]
  
  NUM=0832290712
  &MESSAGE=Test
  &address@hidden
  ---
  
  Using command:
  
  lynx -post_data www.mtn.co.za/cgi-bin/mtn/smssend.pl < mtn-sms-form.txt
  
  The form itself is at www.mtn.co.za/sms.html
  
  The output seems be the same as I get when submitting the form manually,
  (from eith Lynx or Netscape) but something still isn't right because the
  result never happens.
  
  Could I ask you to spare a minute and see what obvious thing I've missed?
  
  Thanks 
  
  Regards
