Hello,

When I attempt to use KDE 3.03 "konqueror" for help.start() I can't get the 
search engine to work but otherwise help.start() is OK. How should 
"konqueror" be setup for this?

The response to the command is below:
Making links in per-session dir ...
If konqueror is already running, it is *not* restarted, and you must
    switch to its window.
Otherwise, be patient ...
translation from Swedish/
konqueror: Anv?nd --help f?r att f? en lista med de tillg?ngliga 
kommandoradsv?ljarna./konqueror: Use --help for a list with the abvailable 
command line choosers. - translation from Swedish/

The response to the command with netscape (where the search engine works) is 
below):
Changing the default browser (as specified by the `browser' option) to
    the given browser so that it gets used for all future help
    requests.
Making links in per-session dir ...
If netscape is already running, it is *not* restarted, and you must
    switch to its window.
Otherwise, be patient ...

Do you have java enabled on Konqueror ? The search engine is java based, and 
konqueror (AFAIR) needs a little tweaking to have java usable.

Thanks,
but unfortunately this doesn't help
se output below

helpstart works as before but unfortunately not the search engine

I don't use Konqueror but I noted from the web site that there are
some Java related issues with it somewhat similar to those facing
Mozilla, which I do use under both WinXP and RH Linux running Gnome.

You might want to review the follow URL's to ensure that your Java
configuration is set up correctly. As was pointed out, the search
engine requires both JavaScript and Java being enabled and Java being
properly installed on your system.
