first, i'm just one of the volunteers on lynx-dev & largely a spectator:
i try to give newcomers simple first-aid help if i can:
you should send all problems to  address@hidden ,
where there are people better qualified to give you advice;
i'm copying this to lynx-dev, so we'll see who's free today ...

second, can anyone help this lady with her problems?
