Here on IRIX, I did:

    setenv DX_WEB_BROWSER netscape
    opendx &

While running the Accumulate sample net, if I pop of the VPE and ask for
context help on the Import module, the execution freezes.  End Execution is
non-responsive, and the Execute button is still highlighted.  If I
disconnect from the server, dxexec is still running.  It's not eating CPU;
it just didn't die.  If I exit netscape, it still doesn't die.

If instead, while the network is running and I pop up help, if I then exit
that netscape, dxui doesn't resume updating and goes into a 96% CPU loop
somewhere.  End execution non-responsive.  Disconnect terminates the high
dxui CPU utililization, but doesn't kill the exec.

Also, I tried to get DX to display the help in my existing netscape
instance rather than start a new one via the "netscape -remote" trick by
pointing the envvar to my url_handler.sh script (attached) which I've used
for quite some time.  Instead of the appropriate URL, netscape is directed
to:

     http://-raise/

giving me:

     No such domain: -raise
