to suppress the list of references use the -nolist switch ...
BTW in checking things out i came upon a strange phenomenon:
i edited .lynxrc to remove link numbers temporarily,
did restart (in case) & ran lynx28 -dump http://foo >test.d1 ,
but the links in test.d1 were STILL numbered!
when i simply started Lynx with lynx28 , however, they weren't!
presumably, .lynxrc alters settings only in interactive mode,
whence the switch -number_links to force link numbering,
tho' there's no corresponding -numbers_as_arrows to suppress them.
Mr Gray might like to know that he can find all the command-line switches
by entering lynx -help : it's best to copy them to a file for easy reading.
