Yeah, I'll deal.
Looking at the diff, I think you have a bug in the following two
lines:
+ exec $browserbin/lynx "$lynx_flags" "$url"
[...]
+exec $browserbin/lynx "$lynx_flags" "$url"
If lynx_flags isn't set, then "$lynx_flags" will expand to an empty
argument, which lynx will (probably) interpret as a filename. You
want just $lynx_flags; this is one of the circumstances where you want
a shell variable to expand into a different number of words depending
on what it is.
Also, in your usage message, you have a tab before -c and eight spaces
before -f. Not that it really matters, but it's been months since
I've complained about a tabs vs. spaces issue and I'm going through
withdrawl.
