DESCRIPTION
The HotJava browser is an Internet browser that displays web pages consisting of HTML (HyperText Markup Language) which can contain text, images and interactive content in the form of applets. HotJava supports HTML 3.2 including forms, tables and client-side image maps.

The hotjava command starts the HotJava browser and connects to the document or resource designated by url. If url is not supplied then hotjava goes to either the page designated by the value of the environment variable WWW_HOME; or the default home page if WWW_HOME is not set.

OPTIONS

    Redefines a property value. propertyName is the name of the property whose value you want to change and newValue is the value to change it to. For example, the following sets your default home page to the index.html file in your home directory.
