Yes I do. /opt/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/slime/hyperspec.el

This is what I get when I type

M-: common-lisp-hyperspec-symbols

[type-error-datum time warn restart-name vector values vector-pop
trace stream-error-stream unless \
the y-or-n-p ...]

Doing M-x browse-url<return>http://www.google.com/
opens the URL in Firefox (my default browser).

When I type M-x shell<return>firefox-or-safari-or-another-external-
browser

I get:

bash: firefox-or-safari-or-another-external-browser: command not found

Yes, I corrected the common-lisp-hyperspec-root to:
"file:///Library/Application Support/Lisp/HyperSpec-7-0/Hyperspec/"

When I try:

M-: (browse-url "file:///Library/Application Support/Lisp/
HyperSpec-7-0/HyperSpec/Body/f_car_c.htm")


It opens up the page in Firefox (my default browser). But I want it to
open within the terminal window in the w3m browser plugin for emacs.

Yes I can. Yes it does.

Everything seems like it's working except for the integration of w3m. Since
I'm not a w3m user I'm not going to be much help there. But at least the
lisp backend is working properly. Maybe somebody else in this group knows
w3m, or the emacs group can help with setting up w3m to work with
browse-url.

This page describes how to set up w3m with browse-url:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/emacs-w3m

see Basic Setup:
(setq browse-url-browser-function 'w3m-browse-url)

Thanks! That did the trick.

Additional hints are shown by Bill Clementson on his blog:
http://bc.tech.coop/blog/070208.html

Especially only opening specific stuff in w3m and still default to your
standard-browser:

(setq browse-url-browser-function
'(("hyperspec" . w3m-browse-url)
("weitz" . w3m-browse-url)
("." . browse-url-default-macosx-browser)))
