Apologies, there was a semicolon in the actualy entry. By seemingly ignored, I
mean that it wasn't doing what the line seemed to be saying it should do, even
though the documentation indicated (to me at least) that what I was doing should
work. It turns out I needed to do something quite a bit different that would
have taken me quite some time to figure out, but I appreciate that you took your
time to respond. :-) Thank you.

What I ended having to do was found in Chris Green's response, i.e.:

text/html;	lynx -dump %s; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html
