Here is a copy of the error message I got.
GRASS 6.4.0svn (nc_spm_08)> g.manual -i
Starting browser <C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe> for module
index...
C:/OSGeo4W/apps/grass/grass-6.4.0svn/scripts/g.manual: C:\Program
Files\Mozilla
Firefox\firefox.exe: command not found
This happens if I substitute other command names for -i (e.g. g.manual
d.rast).
Manually typing in the firefox path in a DOS window successfully opened
the browser.
Running 6.4.0svn installed via the OSGeo4W installer.

I'm always starting grass65 from MSYS-console by
/osgeo4w/apps/grass/bin/grass65 -wxpython.
"g.manual d.rast" is working from the MSYS-console and also from the wx-
gui-commandline and the g.manual-wx-gui by starting the IE and the d.rast-
manual.
"echo $GRASS_HTML_BROWSER" in the MSYS-console:
sh: echo C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe: No such file or
directory
