 Priority:  normal     |   Milestone:  6.4.0

 Current WinGRASS launcher sets GRASS_HTML_BROWSER to Internet Explorer and
 thus doesn't respect users preferences. When it gets changed to explorer,
 g.manual (and thus gis.m and wxgui) open manuals in users preferred
 browser (i.e. new tab in Firefox) and user doesn't have to hack around
 with env settings.
 {{{
 GRASS_HTML_BROWSER=explorer
 }}}
 Note missing quotes or path, as explorer.exe normally resides in PATH
 (C:\windows) and gets called from shell script g.manual.

 Tested on WinGRASS-6.4.SVN-r41233-1 running on Windows Vista.
