Ouch ...! Doesn't that make it difficult to keep the two doc's in sync?
Given all the various packages that run on both platforms out there, surely
such a utility must already exist somewhere (no, I personally don't know of
one, but if I were a VMS'er, I'd be looking for a "man2hlp" utility, or some
such).

Not I ... I don't know perl all that well, nor the expected VMS format
(other than the obvious).
But what I will do, is attach a patch for a literal inclusion of the added
ENVIRONMENT section from the .man file, which I *think* is suitable for the
VMS .hlp file.

+2 ENVIRONMENT
+ In addition to various "standard" environment variables
+ such as HOME, PATH, DISPLAY, TERM, LINES, COLUMNS, TMPDIR,
+ etc, Lynx utilizes the following environment variables, if
+ they exist (some may be created by Lynx to pass data to an
+ external program):
+
+ COLORTERM If set, color capability for the ter-
+ minal is inferred at startup time.
+ [Usage of this variable is dependent
+ on the screen handling library used to
+ build Lynx (curses, ncurses, or
+ slang).]
+
+ LYNX_CFG This variable, if set, will override
+ the default location and name of the
+ global configuration file (normally,
+ lynx.cfg) that was defined by the
+ LYNX_CFG_FILE constant in the
+ userdefs.h file, during installation.
+ See the userdefs.h file for more
+ information.
+
+ LYNX_LSS This variable, if set, specifies the
+ location of the default Lynx character
+ style sheet file.
+
+ LYNX_PRINT_DATE This variable is set by the Lynx
+ p(rint) function, to the Date: string
+ seen in the document's "Information
+ about" page (= cmd), if any. It is
+ created for use by an external pro-
+ gram, as defined in a lynx.cfg
+ PRINTER: definition statement. If the
+ field does not exist for the document,
+ the variable is set to a null string
+ under UNIX, or "No Date" under VMS.
+
+ LYNX_PRINT_LASTMOD This variable is set by the Lynx
+ p(rint) function, to the Last Mod:
+ string seen in the document's "Infor-
+ mation about" page (= cmd), if any.
+ It is created for use by an external
+ program, as defined in a lynx.cfg
+ PRINTER: definition statement. If the
+ field does not exist for the document,
+ the variable is set to a null string
+ under UNIX, or "No LastMod" under VMS.
+
+ LYNX_PRINT_TITLE This variable is set by the Lynx
+ p(rint) function, to the Linkname:
+ string seen in the document's "Infor-
+ mation about" page (= cmd), if any.
+ It is created for use by an external
+ program, as defined in a lynx.cfg
+ PRINTER: definition statement. If the
+ field does not exist for the document,
+ the variable is set to a null string
+ under UNIX, or "No Title" under VMS.
+
+ LYNX_PRINT_URL This variable is set by the Lynx
+ p(rint) function, to the URL: string
+ seen in the document's "Information
+ about" page (= cmd), if any. It is
+ created for use by an external pro-
+ gram, as defined in a lynx.cfg
+ PRINTER: definition statement. If the
+ field does not exist for the document,
+ the variable is set to a null string
+ under UNIX, or "No URL" under VMS.
+
+ LYNX_SAVE_SPACE This variable, if set, will override
+ the default path prefix for files
+ saved to disk that is defined in the
+ lynx.cfg SAVE_SPACE: statement. See
+ the lynx.cfg file for more informa-
+ tion.
+
+ LYNX_TEMP_SPACE This variable, if set, will override
+ the default path prefix for temporary
+ files that is defined in the lynx.cfg
+ TEMP_SPACE: statement. See the
+ lynx.cfg file for more information.
+
+ MAIL This variable specifies the default
+ inbox Lynx will check for new mail, if
+ such checking is enabled in the
+ lynx.cfg file.
+
+ NEWS_ORGANIZATION This variable, if set, provides the
+ string used in the Organization:
+ header of USENET news postings. It
+ will override the setting of the ORGA-
+ NIZATION environment variable, if it
+ is also set (and, on UNIX, the con-
+ tents of an /etc/organization file, if
+ present).
+
+ NNTPSERVER If set, this variable specifies the
+ default NNTP server that will be used
+ for USENET news reading and posting
+ with Lynx, via news: URL's.
+
+ ORGANIZATION This variable, if set, provides the
+ string used in the Organization:
+ header of USENET news postings. On
+ UNIX, it will override the contents of
+ an /etc/organization file, if present.
+
+ PROTOCOL_proxy Lynx supports the use of proxy servers
+ that can act as firewall gateways and
+ caching servers. They are preferable
+ to the older gateway servers (see
+ WWW_access_GATEWAY, below). Each pro-
+ tocol used by Lynx can be mapped sepa-
+ rately using PROTOCOL_proxy environ-
+ ment variables of the form:
+ 'http_proxy
+ "http://some.server.dom:port/";'. See
+ the INSTALLATION file in the Lynx dis-
+ tribution for details, and examples.
+
+ WWW_access_GATEWAY Lynx still supports use of gateway
+ servers, with the servers specified
+ via "WWW_access_GATEWAY" variables,
+ where "access" is lower case and can
+ be "http", "ftp", "gopher" or "wais".
+ Most gateway servers have been discon-
+ tinued, but "http://www.w3.org:8001";
+ is available for wais searches (note
+ that you do not include a terminal '/'
+ for gateways, but do for proxies spec-
+ ified by PROTOCOL_proxy environment
+ variables. See the INSTALLATION file
+ in the Lynx distribution for details.
+
+ WWW_HOME This variable, if set, will override
+ the default startup URL specified in
+ any of the Lynx configuration files.
