What were you trying to do?
	Run the 'help' command.

What's wrong:
	The program should run lynx and let you browse via that, I assume.
	Lynx runs and displays the first page, but then immediately exits
	without an error.

What should have happened:
	Not sure. Probably should have been able to browse the docs at
	web.mit.edu/olh.

	Note that it behaves fine when running it on a workstation; it
	runs mozilla and brings up the page without problem.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:

For help about any aspect of Athena, type:   help   followed by a carriage
return.  This calls the On-Line Help system (OLH), a menu browser that 
helps you find information about many Athena topics.

"Menu browser?" jdreed says it hasn't called a menu browser in a very long
time, and suggests that it should instead mention the url that it points to.
