looking further,
GRASS 5.0/5.3's gui.tcl uses something like,
   "$NETSCAPE -remote openURL\($url,new-window,$html(raise)\)"

GRASS 5.7's lib/gis/parser.c uses something like,
   "$GRASS_HTML_BROWSER $URL"



So for once it wasn't just my imagination.

Perhaps the $GRASS_HTML_BROWSER code should be backported from 5.7's
lib/init/init.sh to 5.3, to make the HTML help in 5.3 work for
non-mozilla derivatives. This would also move us closer to being able to
use MacOSX/Aqua's native TclTk ..
