When you use "--enable-externs" with configure you get "#define USE_EXTERNALS
1" in lynx_cfg.h.

I have the lines below in my lynx.cfg and they work fine.
EXTERNAL:http:w3m %s:TRUE
EXTERNAL:ftp:wget -q %s &:TRUE

The "&" puts the process in background. It's good for wget and ther programs
that are supposed to work in the background, not w3m.

Does w3m works when you run it outside lynx? Try putting another program as
EXTERNAL and see if lynx is running it.
