Search for a program called 'shellexec'. (use google).
Shellexec does exactly what you want, but its a windows executable, so
instead of calling
defopen "something";
try
system("shellexec something");
you should be able to download shellexec or an equivalent from many places.
As for portable? Its portable among the various platforms that run
word-4-windows (duh)
