[Edu-sig] [Ann] DocTest solution: Crunchy Frog

[Vern Ceder]

Andre,

This looks very promising. Things worked just fine for me except that on 
my system (Ubuntu Dapper) the browser is not at 
/opt/firefox/mozilla-firefox-bin

Otherwise, it looks good.

And personally, I *LIKE* the name "crunchy frog"... +1 ;)
