[h-e-w] diff between emacs and command prompt w.r.t. starting a process |

Lynx(a text based web browser) fails to open its own window and
quits abnormally from within emacs environment.
When I evaluate
(start-process "lynx" "lynx" "C:\\Program Files\\lynx283jdev14\\lynx.exe")
emacs returns me
#<process lynx>
without any complaint. So I'm sure that emacs succeeded to start it up.
But Lynx exits abnormally leaving an error message in the "lynx" buffer
saying:
initscr(): LINES=-1 COLS=0: too small.
Process lynx exited abnormally with code 4
If I launch Lynx from command prompt, it works without any problem.
I guess the problem has something to do with terminal or window size.
I've tried to set env vars LINES=24 COLS=80 in .BAT file, and to
specify -term option recklessly. But they took me nowhere.
Does anyone have succeeded to open Lynx window from emacs environment?
My environment is as follows:
GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.1.2600) of 2002-03-20 on buffy
Windows XP Home Edition
