I thought I provided answers to both of these questions?

My sh coding skils are too rusty to supply entire code fragments, but you can
identify OS X by the $OSTYPE environment variable or by the output of `uname`,
and by far the most sensible value for $BROWSER is simply "open" which will
recognize a URL commandline argument and pass it to the user's default browser.
 Hopefully that's enough info for someone else to code it up.
