Igor,

There are 2 ways.

1.  Simply press the v key when you are in Lynx, from any page, even the
help screen.

2.  Set your bookmarks page as your home page, which is what I do.  This
is probably best done in .lynxrc, though because I only have a dial-up
link, I've done it in lynx.cfg so it's tthe default for everyone.  To do
this, you would need to use an url scheme like:

file://localhost/path/to/bookmark/file/lynx_bookmarks.html

Even a lynx.cfg directive for this can be over-ridden by individual users
using the config screen within Lynx.
