I looked at recent Lynx mail and tried to guess if you have found a way of
running w3m by the EXTERNAL (".") command in lynx.
Just in case you haven't, try my settings in lynx.cfg:
a) if you have multi-window X environment, open w3m in a side window and
continue browsing with lynx:
EXTERNAL:http:xterm -e sh -c "/usr/local/bin/w3m %s" &:TRUE
b) in case you have to open w3m on the same screen and suspend lynx until
you exit,
EXTERNAL:http:sh -c "/usr/local/bin/w3m %s":TRUE
