Thank you Peter H, Craig and Alex.
I set Mozilla as default via Safari but Eudora would not divorce IE.
Next I downloaded Firefox and that sets itself as default browser if
the box is ticked in its preference.
Eudora would not respond to even a fired up fox.
Last resort - read Help in Eudora!!!!!
The story below gave the answer.
Thank you for persevering but maybe your answers and the item below
will help others.

Any string of text that Eudora recognizes as a "hot link," also known
as a URL (Uniform Resource Locator), is active. Active URLs in
incoming Eudora messages are normally highlighted in blue text and
blue underlining, and are often enclosed by left and right angle
brackets, "< >". You normally double-click on a URL in an incoming
message (or Command-click on it) to open the URL. This launches an
Internet application that, for example, opens a World Wide Web
location, transfers a file, performs a gopher search, performs a Ph,
Finger, or LDAP query, etc. Typical URL prefixes include http, ftp,
gopher, ph, finger, ldap, and more.
To specify what Internet application to use when opening a particular
type of URL, take these steps:
1. Open the incoming message containing the URL, or preview the
message in the message preview pane, making sure the URL is visible
in the pane.
2. Hold down the Option key and double-click on the URL in the
message window or preview pane. A standard file dialog is displayed.
3. In the dialog, select the application you want to use for
that type of URL.
4. Click Open. The selected application is opened and goes to that URL.
From then on, when you select a URL of that type in a Eudora message,
your selected application is automatically used: it opens and acts on
the URL.
A sample URL is <http://www.qualcomm.com/eudora>, which a web browser
would use to take you to QUALCOMM's main Eudora web page on the World
Wide Web. If you hold down the Option key and double-click on such an
http URL in a Eudora message, you can then choose the default browser
(or other application) that you want Eudora to launch whenever you
select that type of URL in an incoming message. (You select the URL,
once again, by double-clicking or Command-clicking on it.)

Hi Merv
you need to start Safari and go to Preferences under Safari in main
menu bar. The top pref is for default browser. This is what I did
when I wanted to use Firefox. If someone knows of a more direct
Apple system way of doing it, I would like to know! There doesn't
seem to be anything to do under System Preferences/Internet.
Cheers, Alex
