Prism 6.0 User's Guide

Specifying the Browser to Use for Displaying Help

There are several resources you can use to affect the way help is displayed.

By default, graphical Prism uses the Netscape browser to display help information; see " Using the Browser-based Help System". Set the Prism.helpBrowser resource to the executable name of another browser to start; the name must be on your path. Graphical Prism supports Mosaic and Netscape browsers. You can include in the setting any browser-specific options that you want passed to the browser when Prism starts it up. (Note that these options do not take effect if Prism uses an existing browser; see below.)

If you already have a browser running when you request help from Prism, by default Prism displays the help information in this browser. Set the resource Prism.helpUseExisting to false if you want Prism to start a new browser. Set it to true to return to the default behavior.
