"""This addresses bug 1167, where if the BROWSER environment variable is not set, nE-1 may not be able to find the web browser to do wiki help. Let's see if we can resolve that issue without putting \"export BROWSER\" in the .bashrc or /etc/bashrc file. Originally observed this bug on Linux. Try to write a fix that works on any platform. Remember to type \"export BROWSER=\" before running this script, otherwise if your bashrc file defines BROWSER, you'll get a successful result for the wrong reason.
