How to set a proxy server for connecting to the internet in Lynx?

I am using http://www.vordweb.co.uk/standards/download%5Flynx.htm on Windows Vista. I need to go through a proxy server to connect to the internet. I cannot find the option to specify the proxy settings for Lynx :(
Answer:

I couldn't figure out how to edit my original post nor could I figure out how to reply to your comment. So i am just going to respond with another answer. There are two common methods for setting windows environment variables: Through the Control Panel Through the Command line Through the Control Panel I would follow this link for instructions (its pretty easy): http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/environment%5Fvariables.mspx?mfr=true Through the Command line To get to the command line Click on: Start > Run... > Type 'cmd' > Enter In the new black command line type: set http_proxy=http://myproxyaddress.com Hit Enter.

I would make sure your http_proxy environment variable is set BEFORE you open the command line to start lynx. If your proxy is http://proxy.com then set http_proxy to that. I only use Windows XP so someone else will have to tell you how to set environment variables in Windows Vista. I know in XP you go to the DOS prompt (Start>Run>cmd) and then type the command set to see all the environment variables set.
