OK, I made a siag-3.5.1-2 package that is now in the submission tracker. 

It depends now on 'dillo | links | lynx' and for its help system it also
looks for the existence of one of these browsers in this order. 

The calling command used to be "$SIAGHELP file:/sw/share/doc/siag/SIAGHELPFILE.html".
I removed the "file:" so the command is now "$SIAGHELP
/sw/share/doc/siag/SIAGHELPFILE.html". This means that now you can
indeed setenv SIAGHELP open (or launch, openurl does not work with this
syntx), if you insist on using a big fat Aqua browser.

By default I think, however, there must be an X11 help browser. Siag as
an X11 client should, after all, also work in full-screen mode or when
started from the console or, even more importantly, when run remotely.
In all these cases, an Aqua browser will not work.
