Sorry I wasn't able to get to you sooner. Your questions indicate to me
that you have tried to build a lynx without taking the time to read through
userdefs.h. Most options can be configured there at compile time, and then
some things can be over-ridden in lynx.cfg or .lynxrc.
The define for getting numbered links is (line 1047, or thereabouts):
#define DEFAULT_KEYPAD_MODE LINKS_ARE_NUMBERED

If you are talking about captive accounts, you could run lynx with the
`-validate' runtime switch which would allow only http.
I suspect you also want to disable the `Dired' functions, which are on
by default. You should edit the top level Makefile (on or around line 114):
# To disable DirEd completely, prepend "#" to this line:
DIRED_SUPPORT = -DDIRED_SUPPORT
Most importantly, though, be sure you edit _at least_ userdefs.h, Makefile
and lynx.cfg to get the configuration that suits you. *Then* come back
to us for help. :-)
