To get lynx to use, for example, xpdf to view PDF files, I didn't have to 
change 
lynx.cfg at all.  I simply created a mailcap file containing the following line:

application/pdf; mcr decw_com:xpdf %s

(Of course, some of you will recognize this as being for OpenVMS.  Unix-based 
users would do something similar.)

In addition to lynx now allowing viewing of PDF files, the above mailcap is 
also 
recognized by Mosaic and Netscape Navigator.
