The -post_data is taking input form STDIN. How to give in command line itself.

e.g.:    $ lynx http://master/search.asp -post_data searchString=Design
                    (This is not working) I want execute in command line itself.

        $ lynx http://master/search.asp -post_data
        searchString=Design
        ---
                   (This is working)

Please educate me to execute in command line itself.

Thanks.
