#!/bin/sh # open a help file in the browser specified in GRASS_HTML_BROWSER_MACOSX. A # script is used so that it operates like other platforms - all it takes # is the browser executable command and the file to open.

The proper method is to use open with the application # package as an argument. This can be done in two ways: # # open -a /path/to/application.app /file/to/open # # or: # # open -b app.signature /file/to/open # # for some known apps it's simpler to use the second option. Whatever is # used should be taken care of in init.sh. # # For html files, when using app path method, open still wants to open the # file in the system default browser, so we're left with signatures-only. if [ !
