How would this differ from the http browser you already have? For
example, start your http browser, select:
File ->
Open File ->
Navigate to: /usr/share/doc/coreutils-5.2.1/README
The browser will display the file and place the name of the file in
the navigation bar. You can also do this from the command line
like so:
$ mozilla /usr/share/doc/coreutils-5.2.1/README
Is this not what you've described?
