Hi List Folks: Here's some more on launching URLs in Web browsers...
You may recall a post recently that mentioned the use of shell command in MC/Rev to launch a URL. After tracking down a formatting issue (with help from Scott Raney and Michael Kahn), it appears the handler below could be a reliable option for launching URLs on Windows. on launchBrowser theURL set the hideConsoleWindows to true put empty into theTitle if "NT" is in the systemVersion then set the shellCommand to "cmd.exe" put quote & quote into theTitle end if get shell("start" && theTitle && theURL) end launchBrowser Passing a URL to this handler should launch the URL in the default browser on any system from Win95 to XP, even with parameters included in the URL string. If the handler fails for you, let me know off list what your findings are. Testing here on Win95/98/2K/XP appeared to work in all cases. Assuming the above works, I'll post a Primer at some point about various Mac/Win URL launch methods.
