Thanks.  I was told to delete two files in /docs/ that are related only to
the DOS version (one has 'slang' in it - which is an alternate to
ncurses), and Doug sent me a modification of lynx.lss (that changes the
colors and shows underlines, which seem to have been left out of the
official version) but otherwise I should not be making any more changes to
this.  Unless I can find or compile wvware, which he thinks would be
better for reading WORD files than antiword.

I will try to repost today without those two files and with the alternate
lynx.lss and I hope Steven or James can post this at their site James
seems to be too busy with other things at the moment (and his computers
are in storage).
