Problem with macports install, any help greatly appreciated

[John Essam]

Tried putting http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/index.html into the web  
browser box, in preferences, message comes up saying not supported.  
Also put "use a locally installed copy " thin doesn't work either


Locally installed copy
