Accessing the World Wide Web

Accessing the World Wide Web

You can access the World Wide Web by starting an Internet browser from your SCO OpenServer Desktop. To do so, click on the World Wide Web icon. Clicking on the Help or Internet Manager icons also starts browsers, each displaying a URL specific to its function.

When you start a browser from a Desktop icon, it starts the browser listed in the /etc/default/browser file. You can change the global default browser by editing this file. You can also override this default on a per-user basis by either:

creating a $HOME/.browser file; see ``Graphical Environment configuration files''.
setting a BROWSER environment variable; see ``Understanding variables''.

For more information about the browsers installed on your system, see your Internet Services documentation in the DocView Networking category.
