Just to clarify - Do either (1) or (2); you don't need both. The first
shell script, as written, will ignore any other command line parameters.
Shell scripts should generally not be written in csh or tcsh, although
this simple one should work. Try the following shell script instead:

#!/bin/sh
lynx -cfg=$HOME/mypath $*

The environment variable to override the built-in lynx.cfg path is
actually LYNX_CFG. So you could do:

setenv LYNX_CFG ~/mypath

The first choice is more secure. Note that "mypath" is the name of your
configuration file, relative to your home directory. You might want to
call it "lynx.cfg" or "mylynx.cfg" instead.
