[GRASSLIST:4918] How to install a web browser for viewing help in g.manual

Hello,

I was wondering what do I need to do to get GRASS to load an html browser to
view manual pages in GRASS? I have Mozilla, Netscape, and Firefox, but I'm
not sure how to tell GRASS where they are. Is there an environmental
variable I need to tweak or something?

I am using GRASS 5.3 through Cygwin, on Windows 2000 PC.

Thanks.

~ Eric.

In the tcltkgrass interface, the Config menu has an entry named
"Configure html-browser" which controls how HTML files are handled.
