FYI I use IE5 for web access, but I have netscape installed specifically to handle CODE400 help....... This is due to our proxy having issue with CODE400 requirements. Here's how............ jlittlej@ca.ibm.com Sent by: owner-code400-l@midrange.com 05/26/2000 10:46 AM Please respond to CODE400-L To: CODE400-L@midrange.com, Stephen.Bennett@fid-intl.com cc: Subject: RE: Novell won't let me look in the Help files - changing default browser Hello Stephen, Claus is away at this time so your inquiry has been forwarded to me. You may wish to try the following for changing the default browser... Suggestions for specifying which browser help is launched in: The directory X:\adtswin\help\ has a file help.cfg Depending on the build being used, there may or may not be a line that begins HTML_BROWSER= and this line may or may not be commented out with a number sign #. If there is not a line like this add HTML_BROWSER="X:\Program Files\Netscape\Communicator\Program\netscape.exe" where X is the drive Netscape is installed on and the rest is the path to the netscape exe (which may be different than in the example). If there is already an HTML_BROWSER= line, make sure it is uncommented and pointing to the correct browser exe Try launching help from within your application, if this fails, try rebooting your system as an existing process may be using the contents of the original help.cfg from memory. If, after rebooting, help still fails to launch correctly, in X:\adtswin\help\help.cfg change the HTML_BROWSER= line to HTML_BROWSER="netscape.exe" as there may have been spaces in the path that weren't interpreted correctly. In this case, you may need to change your system's PATH statement so that it includes a entry for Netscape's executable directory. A reboot may be required depending on which version of Windows is being used. You may wish to use Netscape's profile feature and have one profile that uses the proxy and one that doesn't. If profiles are set up and Netscape is set as the help system's browser, then when help is initially launched, a dialog will prompt for which profile is to be used. This way, Netscape wouldn't be committed strictly to non-proxy access. +--- | This is the CODE/400 Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to CODE400-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to CODE400-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to CODE400-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: larry@paque.net +---
