Sorry... I did a copy and paste of the "Looking up" lines and was going
to change the domains, but I fat-fingered the send key by mistake... Lynx
does NOT try to get .com a zillion times, it goes through the list as
you'd expect. Apologies for any confusion.
Here is the original (still uncorrected) request for assistance:

Hello.
I use Lynx as a final validation test before going "live" with my HTML.
I have been vectoring through public servers (e.g., UNC's SunSite), but
thought it would be less abusive of bandwidth and other netfolk if I
installed Lynx on my local machine. I downloaded and unzipped
successfully, and everything works properly if I drop into DOS and launch
it.
However, if I start Lynx from Windows Explorer or any icon, it says:

Looking up 'Files\Lynx\LYNX.EXE " first.
Looking up 'www.Files\Lynx\LYNX.EXE. com', guessing...
Looking up 'www.Files\Lynx\LYNX.EXE. com', guessing...
Looking up 'www.Files\Lynx\LYNX.EXE. com', guessing...
Looking up 'www.Files\Lynx\LYNX.EXE. com', guessing...
Your Terminal type is unknown!
Enter a terminal type: [vt100]
TERMINAL TYPE IS SET TO vt100.
Looking up localhostC.
Alert!: Unable to connect to FTP host.
===
It then terminates with a message which I don't get a chance to read due
to the closing DOS window, but it obviously has a path in it... probably
complaining about something that isn't set up right.
I have looked at what I can think of to check, but don't see anything
wrong. Have you run into this before or can you offer any suggestions
(or both! 8^)?
Thanks,
James
P.S. Is there a way to tell it you are a VT100 without having to specify
it (even with the CR) each time? I didn't see anything in the config
file...
