I'm now back from a short break (and going off today for 2 weeks in the
sun!) and have the answers to your suggestions.

1. When I set the browser preferences to [Ask when browser is launched the
next time] and then click on one of the links in Help I get the message
"Could not file (sic) a graphical browser on the PATH with which to open
........".

2. I made the change you suggested to koWebbrowser.py after having located
it on my Mac. I'm attaching the part of the error log that appears when I
set Firefox as my browser and then try to access the ActiveState website
from the Help menu. Hope this gives you what you want although I don't see
what you were expecting.
