# How to obtain the Lynx help files

The Lynx help files are included with the distribution of Lynx sources and documentation. Links to sites which supply the distribution are maintained in Lynx links.

Once you have downloaded and extracted the distribution, set HELPFILE in the lynx.cfg as: file://localhost/FULL_PATH_TO_HELP_FILES/lynx_help_main.html

Additional instructions for HELPFILE configuration are in the lynx.cfg file.
