Re: How do I use a different Help browser

lynx? why lynx?

If it's a GNOME build of AbiWord then it will use the default browser
for GNOME.

For ordinary UNIX builds of AbiWord then setting BROWSER *ought* to
work; I haven't tried it in a long time.

If all else fails, you can edit the source and make sure your choice of
browser is used...

Somewhat puzzled,
Frank
