JVERSION Engine: j701/beta/2010-11-24/22:45 Library: 7.01.026 Platform: Win 32 Installer: j701abeta_win.exe InstallPath: c:/users/ric/j701 # Browser_j_ 0 browse_j_ 'http://www.jsoftware.com' browse_j_ 'C:\Users\Ric\j701\gtk\share\doc\gettext\ngettext.3.html' I suggest therefore that the base install for Windows leave Browser_j_ set to '' rather than trying to pick one.
