Great idea!  I think the following command would be best:

    basename (readlink -f /usr/bin/x-www-browser)

I will add this with a conditional based on the existence of basename
and readlink.

There is no similar printout for text browsers (such as www-browser)
because it gets obscured (and sometimes erased) by the text browser.
But maybe we should print out something anyway even for text browsers.
Since the text browser is launched in the foreground, we could do the
printout after it is launched:  "Help was displayed using ..."

I also like Dylan's suggestion of telling people how to change the
browser x-www-browser points to.
