Alright, I found the source file and had a good look through it. It's a
huge file, by the way.
Perhaps you might be so kind as to tell me where I have to look (and
maybe even what I have to change).
Thanks again,
Kiffin

The "-source" option (rather than "-dump") extracts the html content of
the page - that would leave hyperlinks intact. But that isn't what you
want. You can suppress the references by adjusting the lynx.cfg, but
for making a formatted output with active links, you'll have to modify
GridText.c
