I use the browse-url package for this. Here is the section from my
.emacs (I "stole" this from a post to this group sometime ago - can't
remember who from :-(


(defun w3m-browse-url-other-window (url &optional arg)
  "Browse URL with w3m, use other window."
  (interactive
   (browse-url-interactive-arg "w3m URL: "))
  (when (stringp url)
    (let ((buffer (get-buffer "*w3m*")))
      (switch-to-buffer-other-window (if buffer buffer (current-buffer)))
      (w3m-goto-url url))))

(global-set-key "\C-c\C-z." 'browse-url-at-point)
(global-set-key "\C-c\C-zb" 'browse-url-of-buffer)
(global-set-key "\C-c\C-zr" 'browse-url-of-region)
(global-set-key "\C-c\C-zu" 'browse-url)
(global-set-key "\C-c\C-zv" 'browse-url-of-file)

(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook
                  (lambda ()
                        (local-set-key "\C-c\C-zf" 'browse-url-of-dired-file)))
