I see.  Good.  These are currently being checked first in the new
help.fish.  Symlinks are an excellent solution.  Even if they are
outdated (if the program they point to no longer exists) they will
fail and we will move on to the next browser in our list.  I agree
they should stay at the front of the lists.

Thanks for the quick reply.
