Problem with macports install, any help greatly appreciated

[John Essam]

Thanks Scott, got the web browser help working now from the settings  
you gave me. I installed macports from the link on Gimp.org to  
macports.org . Trying to make it work for the sake of completeness but  
also for screen space and quickness really, esecially now I'm learning  
to use Gimp, just a quick screen reminder to quickly remind me of tool  
actions etc.
