I'm afraid you did not take a good look, because wEMBOSS 1.6.0 does not 
handle a few things that changed between EMBOSS 3.0 and 4.0 :
- the program pages cannot display the length of the sequence, because 
  the output format of infoseq changed
- the "fuzzies" do not work because of the new object "pattern"
- wEMBOSS cannot find the on-line manuals because their location changed 
  (see also below)
This will be fixed in wEMBOSS 1.7.0, which will be out end August or 
begin September.

Try the following :
cd $EMBOSS_PREFIX/share/EMBOSS/doc/programs
ln -s $EMBOSS_PREFIX/share/EMBOSS/doc/html/emboss/apps html
(or make a directory html and just copy the files)

Under wEMBOSS it works and I see no reason why it should not work under 
emboss explorer. The only problem is that if you have also "Embassadirs" 
there are troubles in navigating from one manual page to another because 
the Embassadirs are supposed to have their pages in different 
directories.
