This is a twm/shell issue, not a Lynx issue.  I presume that twm is calling
a shell to execute the command, and the shell is interpreting the '&' in the
URL as a metacharacter.  You need to look at how to quote the '&' properly
in the twm configuration (might be as simple as putting a \ before it).
