Setting Up a Web Browser to View Help

When you click Help Topics or Feedback on the Help menu, the WDB GUI attempts to invoke a local web browser. If the default command fails, the WDB GUI will issue a warning and allow you to edit the browser command.

To change the browser command

  1. Click Preferences on the Edit menu.
  2. Click the Help tab.
  3. Edit the browser command in the Browser Command text box.
  4. Click OK.
The new browser command is stored in the file $HOME/.wdbguirc when the WDB GUI exits normally.
