I see that you've already gotten at least  one reply explaining how to 
manipulate the PATH variables to run your copy of lynx.  This may or may 
not be desirable, since you are changing your path for the sake of one 
program. 

If you are using the C-shell, you can add a line like this to your 
.cshrc file:
        alias lynx '/home/Titus/local/bin/lynx'
Now, each time you enter 'lynx' on the command line, you'll get your new 
copy of lynx.

To find out which shell you are using, using the "env" command, and look 
for the SHELL environment varialble.  The C-shell will have a name like
"/bin/csh" or "/usr/bin/csh" or something similar.
