i don't think i got anything else named lynx. In eshell, "which lynx"
turns up c:/cygwin/bin/lynx.exe ... when i call the command it was
generating a buffer called *lynx.exe*,  iirc.

every time i try to switch to eshell, always something turns up
stopping me from using it... the lack of doc certainly didn't help.
I'll sure report in the future if i find some issues.

thanks for the extra tip.
