Browsers

Xsetup tries to detect if certain help browsers are installed and automatically tries to use them. If you would like to choose a different browser, add the following line to the .Xdefaults file:

Xsetup*browsers: <name>:<command> %s;

Where <name> is the name of the browser, e.g. "Netscape" followed by a colon, and <command> %s is the command to execute followed by a semicolon. The %s is replaced with a URL pointing to the location of the help file.

Audible
