[R] Mozilla 1.2

[Jan de Leeuw]

The problem with that is we need to open an OX X Carbon application  
from the
terminal command line. If we just set the browser to Mozilla it opens  
the X11 version,
but you cannot open Mozilla.app without using the "open" command. Your
suggestion will work, I hope, as soon as the GTK Mozilla is upgraded to  
1.2
in fink, provided that also handles the Java well. For the time being  
the
little netscape script is a quiet and innocent hack. You can also call  
it
mozilla, of course, and then use options("browser").
