With Lynx IX there one subtle thing that you need to do in order to
carry out the operation. When the list appears for lynxing or de-lynxing
your need to select the files by pressing "y" to select or "n" to skip.
This is not intuitively obivious.
 
I hope this is what was causing the problem with Lynx
