Yes, you can, *BUT* it won't be 'useful' to do so, because lynx will
*exit* after the 'response' page for the form submission is returned.

I can't find any detailed docs on using this option, only that the data

Can anyone show me where there is more info on this or provide an

"post" data submitted to a HHTP server consists of a number of lines, of the
form:
{fieldname}={value}
Lynx expects the file to be in exactly that form -- it just 'copies' the
file data to the server.
example:
username=baz
password=quux
submit=GO |

eBay account with one bash shell command.
