i'm no expert on terminal settings or communications software,
but it certainly looks as if the problem is not in Lynx,
since you can still use it properly via telnet:
you need to ask your ISP, eg whether s/he has altered any keybindings.

otherwise & anyway, you would be better off to compile your own Lynx:
you can get the latest 2-8-1 from  www.slcc.edu/lynx/release ,
which has several improved features: it's not difficult to do it yourself.
ask again here if you encounter any problems.
