Hi Paul

This fixes jde-help-show-class-member-doc because temporary-file-directory is
not defined in Xemacs.

But a problem remains. At least on my system. I'm using Windows NT with Netscape.
Netscape does not seem to accept file URL's of the form you are writing to the
temporary html file.

For example:

In my case

file:///java/api/java/lang/Object.html#toString()

must be set to

file:///D|/java/api/java/lang/Object.html#toString()
        ^^
to be seen inside Netscape. Notice the drive letter D: in the file URL.
This is where I have my api docu.

Should we create a customizable variable and concat together the
file:/// + var + /path/to/api-docu ??
