Configuring the Browser for Online Help
The online Help system is a browser-based HTML Help system designed for viewing in the 
Firefox and Mozilla Web browsers. You can use any of the following browsers:
• Firefox version 1.5 or 2.0
• Mozilla version 1.7
Although online Help might work in Internet Explorer version 6.0 or later, it is not tested in 
this browser.
Important: 
When you use online Help from within the GUI, the directory containing the browser 
executable file must be in the search path specified by your UNIX or Linux $PATH variable.
The default browser is Firefox. To use a different browser, change the 
gui_online_browser variable in your [.synopsys_icc_gui.tcl | .synopsys_dv_gui.tcl] 
setup file. You can also change the browser for the current session by setting this variable 
from within the GUI. For example
set gui_online_browser “mozilla”
The choices are firefox or mozilla.
