Hi,
If you are having problems opening the help file in Page and get a message saying that you need to set the BROWSER variable in Linux, here is what I did.
open a terminal
type:
sudo -H gedit /etc/environment
Now add a line at the bottom of the existing file saying:
BROWSER="firefox"
(firefox must be in quotes. Of course, this assumes you have firefox installed...)
Save the file. Now you have to logout (or restart) so that it will read the variable.
Once you have logged back in, open a terminal and type:
echo $BROWSER
the terminal should respond "firefox", or you could just type "BROWSER" and it should open up firefox for you.
