What applications should I use to get help in Linux for Pov-RAY? In example
to view help as .html files?

Any webbrowser - in Rh9 konqueror does just fine for me for viewing Pov-Ray
documentation.

3.6.x seems to install them here:

/usr/local/share/doc/povray-3.6/html

Hmm - on my Rh9 setup, konqueror is in /usr/bin/konqueror, and so is mozilla
: /usr/bin/mozilla. Galeon is in there too...

So, to read Povray docs, I start konqueror by starting an xterm and typing

[rylan@StefanLinux rylan]$ /usr/bin/konqueror & 
[rylan@StefanLinux rylan]$

and then when it comes up I "surf" to

file:/usr/local/share/doc/povray-3.6/html/index.html
