The notation depends on the port. You should be able to see what it is
for your port by going to "file:///./", then type "=" to see the
notation. This seems to be a Windows port. I suspect that you could use:
"STARTFILE:file:///f:/progra~1/lynx/blank.htm"

With the cygwin port that I compile for my own use it would be:
"STARTFILE:file:///cygdrive/f/progra~1/lynx/blank.htm"

In the DOS port, you could use:
"STARTFILE:file:///f:/progra~1/lynx/blank.htm" or
"STARTFILE:file:///dev/f/progra~1/lynx/blank.htm"
