Terminal and Environment variables

[Brian J. Tarricone]

xfterm4 is just a frontend that runs $TERMCMD.  you are correct in that 
we should be running $BROWSER by default from the menu.  that actually 
needs a wrapper script, as we want to allow for a default install that 
doesn't have $BROWSER set.
