A quick question about Lynx

I am using Lynx and I have a rather silly question.

When you download a file from a site, where does it save the file?

I checked my homedir, and the currentdir. Not there. It also does not say in the config file.

I would think the default would be your home directory. Try using the find command:
find / -name filename
This should give the location of the file.

Yeah, I found out. Turns out I would DL but not tell it where to save it. Guess I am still learning.
