> I will now give a very brief description of what you can do with
some GNOME programs. I have chosen those GNOME programs which
appear to be reasonably stable; these might be the same programs
which are being included in the Red Hat Linux 5.1 distribution,
but that is not clear at this time.</P

>The GNOME help browser (gnome-help-browser)</A
></H1
><P
> GNOME has a help browser which allows you to view
documentation in several formats, including UNIX man pages,
GNU info files and HTML documents. The documents are shown
with an HTML rendering widget, so any documentation format
that can be translated into HTML could be rendered with
<B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>gnome-help-browser</B
>.

> You can invoke the help browser from the panel or from the
shell by typing

> The help browser is well documented, so once you are in it you
can click on the help icon (which looks like <IMG
SRC="pix/help-icon.gif">) and see the
help browser's online help. I will only add one more tip on
using the help browser: you can invoke it from the command
line directly and give it a file URL, which has to be a
complete path to the file. So if you have just written or
generated a web page, you could view it with by typing
<P
CLASS="LITERALLAYOUT"
><TT
CLASS="PROMPT"
>$ </TT
><TT
CLASS="USERINPUT"
><B
>gnome-help-browser file:<full-path>/file.html</B
