FWIW, I agree.

Oh no -- you're not supposed to edit *that* file. Instead, put

    INCLUDE:/usr/pkg/share/lynx/lynx.cfg

at the top of your ~/lynx.cfg. Then, any settings that follow
will override the defaults.

In general, if you're having trouble figuring out where a
configuration file lives, the foolproof way is with "ktrace/kdump".

One of the more significant objections to collecting configs in
"/etc", where they'd be easy to find without "ktrace/kdump", is that
it would populate "/etc" with non-parsable, non-editable crud, and the
answer to that, is to move all such crud out of ${PREFIX}/etc to
${PREFIX}/share, where it belongs.
