Using COLUMNS=80 doesn't work in atleast one situation. I use tmux in a way that launches multiple panes from a script, and sends keys to the panes to launch a command. Even if I send "COLUMNS=80 lynx" or preset lynx to an alias "COLUMNS=80 lynx", it seems to work only for the first page that is launched by lynx. When I click a link that redirects lynx to another page it occupies the eitire width of the screen for that page. My suspicion is that there is some race condition in COLUMNS=80 being set by user command and that from a WINCH that arrives from the system. Using "stty cols 80" bypasses this problem, but is a pain because unless one writes a wrapper script arround lynx, they can't have lynx just work as expected in all enviornments. IMO all user will benefit if lynx adds a commandline option "-cols=NUMBER" (given "-width=NUMBER" is already taken for dumps). If passed, it will override enviornment variable COLUMNS, and won't be affected by WINCHes to decide the column width.
