It seems that Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, at least, do not refer to themselves as "browser" or anything else, beyond their names. Clearly they didn't worry too much about finding a name that suggests "browsing" to potential users. Perhaps they expect users to run them via icons or menus and not with M-x. Also, those programs are extremely well known, and the people who use them use them daily. So people don't have a problem of wanting to use them and not recalling their names. It is otherwise with lots of facilities in Emacs. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
