GetBrowserType returns that browser type for the current machine or for the specified machine if the optional argument is used.
If the current browser has not been set in a script,
GetBrowserType returns the BROWSERTYPE set for Default Browser in
Runtime Options; if no browser is specified in
Runtime Options,
GetBrowserType returns NULL.
