i have the following line in my .bash_profile:

alias lynx="lynx -cookie_file=/dev/null -cfg=$HOME/lynx.cfg -nopause"

sometimes (but rarely), i want cookie support. is there and way to tell
bash to evaluate a command without checking for aliases? i didn't see
anything on the man page.

Preface the command with the '\' character. \lynx.
