Just go to tye top of the screen, it always shows everyting, i there's
more than one page above the first link it will show the entire page
without the link and so on.
The only problem I have with lynx is the fact that it does not suppport
javascript nor frames.
I use a .lynxrc file setting various thing, I'l attach that.

# Lynx User Defaults File
#
# This file contains options saved from the Lynx Options Screen (normally
# with the 'o' key). To save options with that screen, you must select the
# checkbox:
# Save options to disk
#
# You must then save the settings using the link on the line above the
# checkbox:
# Accept Changes
#
# You may also use the command-line option "-forms_options", which displays
# the simpler Options Menu instead. Save options with that using the '>' key.
#
# There is normally no need to edit this file manually, since the defaults
# here can be controlled from the Options Screen, and the next time options
# are saved from the Options Screen this file will be completely rewritten.
# You have been warned...
#
# If you are looking for the general configuration file - it is normally
# called "lynx.cfg". It has different content and a different format.
# It is not this file.

# accept all cookies if desired. The default is "FALSE" which will
# prompt for each cookie. Set accept_all_cookies to "TRUE" to accept
# all cookies.

# anonftp_password allows the user to tell Lynx to use the personal
# email address as the password for anonymous ftp. If no value is given,
# Lynx will use the personal email address. Set anonftp_password

# personal_mail_address specifies your personal mail address. The

personal_mail_address=

# This is not necessarily the same as a name provided as part of the
# personal_mail_address.
# Lynx does not save your changes to that default value as a side-effect
# of sending email. To update the default value, you must use the options
# menu, or modify this file directly.

# preferred_charset specifies the character set in MIME notation (e.g.,
# ISO-8859-2, ISO-8859-5) which Lynx will indicate you prefer in requests
# to http servers using an Accept-Charset header. The value should NOT
# include ISO-8859-1 or US-ASCII, since those values are always assumed
# by default. May be a comma-separated list.
# If a file in that character set is available, the server will send it.
# If no Accept-Charset header is present, the default is that any
# character set is acceptable. If an Accept-Charset header is present,
# and if the server cannot send a response which is acceptable
# according to the Accept-Charset header, then the server SHOULD send
# an error response, though the sending of an unacceptable response
# is also allowed.
preferred_charset=ISO-8859-1
# preferred_language specifies the language in MIME notation (e.g., en,
# fr, may be a comma-separated list in decreasing preference)
# which Lynx will indicate you prefer in requests to http servers.
# If a file in that language is available, the server will send it.
# Otherwise, the server will send the file in its default language.

# select_popups specifies whether the OPTIONs in a SELECT block which
# lacks a MULTIPLE attribute are presented as a vertical list of radio
# buttons or via a popup menu. Note that if the MULTIPLE attribute is
# present in the SELECT start tag, Lynx always will create a vertical list
# of checkboxes for the OPTIONs. A value of "on" will set popup menus
# as the default while a value of "off" will set use of radio boxes.
# The default can be overridden via the -popup command line toggle.
select_popups=on
# show_color specifies how to set the color mode at startup. A value of
# "never" will force color mode off (treat the terminal as monochrome)
# at startup even if the terminal appears to be color capable. A value of
# "always" will force color mode on even if the terminal appears to be
# monochrome, if this is supported by the library used to build lynx.
# A value of "default" will yield the behavior of assuming
# a monochrome terminal unless color capability is inferred at startup
# based on the terminal type, or the -color command line switch is used, or
# the COLORTERM environment variable is set. The default behavior always is
# used in anonymous accounts or if the "option_save" restriction is set.
# The effect of the saved value can be overridden via
# the -color and -nocolor command line switches.
# The mode set at startup can be changed via the "show color" option in
# the 'o'ptions menu. If the option settings are saved, the "on" and
# "off" "show color" settings will be treated as "default".
show_color=default
# show_cursor specifies whether to 'hide' the cursor to the right (and
# bottom, if possible) of the screen, or to place it to the left of the
# current link in documents, or current option in select popup windows.
# Positioning the cursor to the left of the current link or option is
# helpful for speech or braille interfaces, and when the terminal is
# one which does not distinguish the current link based on highlighting
# or color. A value of "on" will set positioning to the left as the
# default while a value of "off" will set 'hiding' of the cursor.
# The default can be overridden via the -show_cursor command line toggle.
show_cursor=on
# show_dotfiles specifies that the directory listing should include
# "hidden" (dot) files/directories. If set "on", this will be
# honored only if enabled via userdefs.h and/or lynx.cfg, and not
# restricted via a command line switch. If display of hidden files
# is disabled, creation of such files via Lynx also is disabled.
show_dotfiles=off
# If sub_bookmarks is not turned "off", and multiple bookmarks have
# been defined (see below), then all bookmark operations will first
# prompt the user to select an active sub-bookmark file. If the default
# Lynx bookmark_file is defined (see above), it will be used as the
# default selection. When this option is set to "advanced", and the
# user mode is advanced, the 'v'iew bookmark command will invoke a
# statusline prompt instead of the menu seen in novice and intermediate
# user modes. When this option is set to "standard", the menu will be
# presented regardless of user mode.
sub_bookmarks=OFF
# user_mode specifies the users level of knowledge with Lynx. The
# default is "NOVICE" which displays two extra lines of help at the
# bottom of the screen to aid the user in learning the basic Lynx
# commands. Set user_mode to "INTERMEDIATE" to turn off the extra info.
# Use "ADVANCED" to see the URL of the currently selected link at the
# bottom of the screen.

# If verbose_images is "on", lynx will print the name of the image
# source file in place of [INLINE], [LINK] or [IMAGE]
# See also VERBOSE_IMAGES in lynx.cfg

# If vi_keys is set to "on", then the normal VI movement keys:
# j = down k = up
# h = left l = right
