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
