||
|
|

|
||
|
|
may be relative paths to files in the file system;

|
||
|
|
.B file://
|
||
|
|
URLs before being passed to the web browser.

|
which requires an instance of the web browser

|
The choice of browser is determined by the
|
||

|
|
environment variable, which should be the name of
|
||
|
|
the executable for your choice of web browser.

|
Since the various browsers all use different syntaxes
|
||
|
|
in their
|
||
|
|
.B -remote
|
||
|
|
options, the executable name is inspected to determine
|
||
|
|
the type of browser.
|
||
|
|
The supported browsers are Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Firebird, and Mozilla.
