The navigator to be used is selected by the environment variable ROSNETS. If its value is Y, Netscape is used. If it has another value, the default navigator is used.
39.   Ed. rosetpar  : Permits to modify under editor the parameters (VDOCHTM and ROSNETS) that monitor the display of documentation.
