NAME
     answerbook2 - online documentation system

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/dt/bin/answerbook2 [ -h ]

DESCRIPTION
     The answerbook2 utility brings up the  default  web  browser
     and  shows any online documentation installed in the default
     AnswerBook2 server. If an AnswerBook2 server  has  not  been
     defined,  answerbook2  checks if there is one running on the
     user's machine. If so, it displays  that  server's  informa-
     tion.

     To define a default AnswerBook2 server, use the  environment
     variable, AB2_DEFAULTSERVER.

     This functionality is also accessible  through  the  Answer-
     Book2 option  on the CDE front panel Help menu.

OPTIONS
     The following option is supported:

     -h    Displays a usage statement.

USAGE
     At startup time,  answerbook2  starts  up  the  default  web
     browser  (for example, HotJava or Netscape) and displays the
     URL specified for the  default  AnswerBook2  server.  If  no
     default   AnswerBook2  server  is   defined,  it  looks  for
     http://localhost:8888.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
     AB2_DEFAULTSERVER
           Fully-qualified  URL  that  identifies   the   default
           AnswerBook2    server    to    use.    For    example:
           http://imaserver.eng.sun.com:8888/
