(emacs-19.34:)
-rw-r--r--  1 jim  spath  23375 Jul 21  1996 browse-url.el
(doesn't mention Lynx)

(emacs-20.3:)
-r--r--r--  1 jim  wheel  40184 Jun 19  1998 browse-url.el

comes with standard Emacs distributions.  Not sure how up-to-date
it is with Lynx.  I am running Emacs 20.3, which is a bit dated.

Here's some of the Lisp code in the above file dealing with Lynx:

...
           (function-item :tag "Lynx in an xterm window"
                          :value browse-url-lynx-xterm)
           (function-item :tag "Lynx in an Emacs window"
                          :value browse-url-lynx-emacs)
...

(defcustom browse-url-xterm-program "xterm"
  "The name of the terminal emulator used by `browse-url-lynx-xterm'.
This might, for instance, be a separate colour version of xterm."
  :type 'string
  :group 'browse-url)

(defcustom browse-url-lynx-emacs-args (and (not window-system) 
                                           '("-show_cursor"))
  "A list of strings defining options for Lynx in an Emacs buffer.
