Then my request would be to only show on the display the part about
"SugFile=" and discard "Method=" and "File=" (if that's possible),
rather than add more lines.

I'd be happy without the vertical tab, i.e., no blank lines.

Unnecessary.

Could be useful, and probably should be retained.  Strive for the
briefest possible, however:

  You may define other download methods.  Refer to the 'DOWNLOAD'
  and 'INCLUDE' sections of <a href=\"%s\">lynx.cfg</a>.

Since it's after-the-fact, past tense seems more natural to me.

Couldn't get a binary to work in anonymous mode, so I wasn't able to
check how the page was rendered when run by an anonymous user.  Anyway,
my concern is not one of security itself, but that I don't like to
give out any more information about the local file system than necessary.
(Some pretty weird folks get on there.)

Fine with me, too.  Especially the <h1> is a waste of space, and as we
have recently been reminded, using <h2> is preferable for braille rendering.
