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
