I guess you didn't, but I did when restarting Axiom. So 
now:
SOCKET(8080, getDocumentation$HyperDoc)$Lisp

simply "freeze" with no output. According to my firewall, 
it did ask to be a server and I allowed it. What should be 
expected?

Putting url

http://localhost:8080/|?binomial` `OutputForm|

simply says: waiting for localhost

I have trouble with setting paths, but this is a known bug 
in Windows Axiom. But the present immediate problem is the 
socket to browser interface.
