pref for setting browser called?

Hi,
When I click on Help--> Reference, the page opens in Mozilla (on Linux KDE/SuSE desktop). I can't see where this is set. There's nothing in my environment about browser; if KDE were involved it would call Konqueror.

yeah, it's hardwired internally. i'll add a pref for it on future releases. i had used mozilla as default since i figured it'd be installed on almost all linux machines.
it's too bad linux doesn't have a standard explorer/shell mechanism to handling opening of files (i believe there's one for kde and one for gnome, but no guarantee that either is going to be installed, and detecting the setting could be prohibitively difficult/error-prone) that associates mime-types or extensions with their respective launcher.
fwiw, the preference will simply be setting
browser=mozilla
or whatever you'd like inside your .processing file (new for 68+). the default for linux will be mozilla.

k, so 68 is about to be released, but it's not the version that contains this fix.. this feature has been coded but won't be available for a bit..
