Did you actually type this in the rxvt or just in profile? profile
did not work for me when I started an rxvt manually but it did
work if I started it from the menu.

You can copy the /*/bin/pico and vi scripts from the 2.4 usb
bootfloppy - I made them because the shell I was testing
with did not support aliases.

You should make a script or alias consisting of 'links hotlist.html'.
Can't you exit links and restart it with a short alias?
