Rudy,
All of my access  to lynx is tied  to shell services.  Shellworld mainly, 
and the shell provided by dreamhost.
There is a choice in the options menu, below the send user agent check box 
that  is a field which I would have to remove and edit.
I do not run scripts  for anything, and try not to make major changes to 
config files for the services I use.
its been several   years since anyone has built  lynx for DOS which 
remains my desktop operating system.
I do have a copy of Links the chain for dos which  is a mix, mostly 
because it does not read  things as fluidly.
So for those not using a script, as Rudy does, would my testing the user 
agent be a firm change if not written to disc?
I have no access to the lynx.cfg files on my dreamhost shell, the place 
where I would  be doing this test.
Thanks,
Karen
