It should be possible to set the environment variable "http_proxy".  (At
least on unix, I think that is the easiest way.)  Only guessing, but
probably in your lynx.bat file (or *.pif file?), you'd put something like
the following: "set http_proxy=http://proxy.myprovider.net:8080/"; (without
the quotes, on a line by itself).  Check out the URL below.  It's a very
nice page oriented towards Windows users:
