Re: How is Help browser started?

Hi Larry,

In the first instance abiword checks the content of the "BROWSER"
environment variable to search for prefered installed web browser. If
this is not set it then itterates through a list optential browsers
and looks for each on the users system. The first one it finds it uses
to open the help page. The list is:

			"sensible-browser",	/* debian */
			"epiphany",		/* primary gnome */
			"galeon",		/* secondary gnome */
			"encompass",
			"firefox",
			"mozilla-firebird",
			"mozilla",
			"netscape",
			"konqueror",
			"xterm -e w3m",
			"xterm -e lynx",
			"xterm -e links"

If it fails to find any of these give up and you get the error you see.

Cheers
Martin
