Finally got it working. EXPLORE.EXE (WebExplorer) is self-contained and
doesn't need to be run from its home directory *but* all the other
browsers *do* need to be run from their home directories.

So I also had to update the Working Directory field on the Properties
Browser page and then click Set Default. I didn't set this originally
because I saw that WebExplorer didn't have it set.

OS2.INI now contains all the proper settings and clicking on a URL
object opens Mozilla and displays the pages.

Thanks for the help on this. I think there's a call that returns the
complete path of a running executable so it can determine where it
loaded from, but obviously Mozilla and its friends aren't doing this.
