You should make sure your emacs is connected to your desired browser first.

If you want to use w3m (which I prefer since you never leave emacs), make
sure it's configured correctly.

Try the command: M-x browse-url <enter: http://google.com> and see
what happends first.

Do you get the google homepage? Inside an emacs window, or in a separate
browser?

If you don't get either, you've not configured emacs correctly. This needs
to be done before you can get the idlwave help system as it uses URLs for
its help pages.

Hope this helps.

Matt

Check the emacs manual.

AC.28.1 Following URLs

M-x browse-url RET url RET
Load a URL into a Web browser.

The Browse-URL package provides facilities for following URLs specifying
links on the World Wide Web. Usually this works by invoking a web browser,
but you can, for instance, arrange to invoke compose-mail from `mailto:'
URLs.

The general way to use this feature is to type M-x browse-url, which displays
a specified URL. If point is located near a plausible URL, that URL is used
as the default. Other commands are available which you might like to bind to
keys, such as browse-url-at-point and browse-url-at-mouse.

You can customize Browse-URL's behavior via various options in the browse-url
Customize group, particularly browse-url-browser-function. You can invoke
actions dependent on the type of URL by defining browse-url-browser-function
as an association list. The package's commentary available via C-h p provides
more information. Packages with facilities for following URLs should always
go through Browse-URL, so that the customization options for Browse-URL will
affect all browsing in Emacs.
