Oh, *do* that!  Note: BROWSER may consist of a colon-separated series
of parts, browser commands to be tried in order (this is useful so you
can put an X browser first, then a console browser, and have the right
thing happen).  If a part contains %s, the URL is substituted there;
otherwise, the URL is concatenated to the command after a space.

Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and
strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a
woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.
