Help system does not work

S.u.S.E. Help system
====================

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Call simply  'help'  , or declare one of the following
options:

   -nox     -> No X Windows  browser is used,  even if  the
               X Window System runs.
   -x       -> In every case the X Windows browser is used

'lynx'  serves  as  browser without  X window; 'arena' as  browser  with
X window  support.  These options  can be changed,
by setting  the environment variables  'XBROWSER' or  'TEXTBROWSER' 
(do not forget to export!).
