The suggested changes don't work correctly for one specific case.
This means that when running Jwdp under Win32 without
Edit|Configure|External Programs|Web Browser defined, the links to Help
files don't work (eg. Help|General Info).
The following changes to the 2nd if. statement in the launch verb of
~system/extras/util/browser.ijs should sort things out.
NEWCODE:
==================================
isURL=. 1 e. '://'&E.
if. 0=IFUNIX+#browser do.
if. IFJAVA *. -. isURL cmd do.
start=. ''
else. start=. 'start "" ' end.
cmd=. 'cmd /C ',start,quoteit cmd
show=. ' sw_hide'
else.
browser=. quoteit browser
cmd=. '/' (I. cmd='\') } cmd
if. -. isURL cmd do.
cmd=. 'file://',cmd
end.
cmd=. browser,' ',quoteit cmd
show=. ''
end.
===================================
OLD CODE:
===================================
if. 0=IFUNIX+#browser do.
cmd=. 'cmd /C start "" ',quoteit cmd
show=. ' sw_hide'
else.
browser=. quoteit browser
cmd=. '/' (I. cmd='\') } cmd
if. -. 1 e. '://' E. cmd do.
cmd=. 'file://',cmd
end.
cmd=. browser,' ',quoteit cmd
show=. ''
end.
