Hm, but the main point of my code is to display the doc in a browser.

OK. But I'd rather suggest you use
ops: Database IndexCard := getDatabase("o")$OperationsQuery
and read the documentation of Database. In fact, there is an example in the
axiom book.
Note that getDatabase hould return some large number (the number of all
operations in axiom). if it doesn't, get a better axiom.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
getDocumentation takes a string of the form
"op`params`origin"
where pattern matching is supported via the special sequence %20. (should be
changed in fact, it should better be the empty string.)
It returns a string which is the name of a html file generated via htex4ht.
The name is the md5sum code for the complete specification. For example:
(12) -> getDocumentation "binomial`%20`OutputForm"
["binomial","%20","OutputForm"]
["obinomial`2`n`(_$,_$)->_$`dOutputForm``253816"]
"57fde9cb599e74b4e1917af8ae728a05"
(12) "57fde9cb599e74b4e1917af8ae728a05.html"
Type: String
the result is (well, should be) the md5sum of
obinomial`2`n`(_$,_$)->_$`dOutputForm
Hmm, not sure what the `253816 is. It seems that some debugging is
necessary...
