lynx-dev Minor install problem on VMS

[Alder]

Hello,

I've built and installed version 2.8.3 of Lynx from the SYSTEM account 
on VMS 7.2 hobbyist system running TCPIP Services 5.0 and am pretty 
happy with it.  There are a few niggling problems, however, which I hope 
someone here can help with.  Probably just something missing in 
USERDEFS.H or the config file.

First, when I try to use the Options item Lynx responds with these two 
messages:

Alert!: Unable to open tempfile
Alert!: LYNXOPTIONS:/

Is this something related to the "#define TEMP_SPACE" line at the very 
start of USERDEFS.H?  The setting I used was:

   #define TEMP_SPACE "SYS$LOGIN:[LYNXTMP]"

and created such a directory in each user's home directory.

Also, I specified the location of LYNX.CFG in the USERDEFS.H file as 
follows:

#define LYNX_CFG_FILE "Lynx_Dir:lynx.cfg"

   - where the LYNX_DIR system logical is created in 
SYS$STARTUP:SYLOGICALS.COM with
   - $ DEFINE/SYSTEM/NOLOG LYNX_DIR DISK$PROGRAMS:[LYNX.]

Can anyone suggest corrections to these entries or some other changes I 
should make to get the Options menu to appear?

Thanks,
Alder
