to suppress the list of references use the  -nolist  switch ...

BTW in checking things out i came upon a strange phenomenon:
i edited  .lynxrc  to remove link numbers temporarily,
did  restart  (in case) & ran  lynx28 -dump http://foo >test.d1 ,
but the links in  test.d1  were STILL numbered!
when i simply started Lynx with  lynx28 , however, they weren't!
presumably,  .lynxrc  alters settings only in interactive mode,
whence the switch  -number_links  to force link numbering,
tho' there's no corresponding  -numbers_as_arrows  to suppress them.

Mr Gray might like to know that he can find all the command-line switches
by entering  lynx -help : it's best to copy them to a file for easy reading.
