I discovered that mc (Midnight Commander) tried to open lynx when one 
press Enter on an html-file. First I tried to create a link to 
links-0.95 but that didn't work because mc calls lynx with an option 
-force_html, and links-0.95 doesn't run because that's an unknown option.

A solution that worked is to create a shell script named lynx in 
/usr/bin with the contents:
#!/bin/sh
# LEFBL Lynx Emulator for BasicLinux

# If you need other licenses please contact <mikaelb AT df.lth.se>.
shift
links-0.95 $1
# __END__

Make it executable with the command:
chmod a+x lynx

To find all html-files enter the command:
find / -name '*.html'|xargs ls -l

mc cannot open executable html-files. (I think hotlist.html is 
executable from the installation. It was anyway executable on my 
BL-computer for some unknown reason.)
