System name: oliver
Type and version: SGI??? 8.1.15 (with mkserv)
Display type: UNKNOWN video
What were you trying to do?
Read the online books.
Specifically, I ran the toolchest command from the shell
then selected "Help" -> "Online Books"
This created a window called "InfoSearch" which displayed
some raw html. I think this is the same program which
gets invoked from typing "infosearch" on a command line.
I solved this problem by running the old online book browser
by typing "insight" in the shell
What's wrong:
Most users don't like to read the online books in raw html.
What should have happened:
I think stock 6.3 systems typically startup netscape, but
I don't know for sure.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
It's there somewhere.
