Don't suppose anyone knows a way to do it on Windows?

Shari C


Try this, Shari (a Scott Rossi - Monte Goulding gem)...

on launchFile pFileName
  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 && quote & pFileName & quote)
end launchFile

Works for any full url (local or web) path name. Very neat solution. And I 
hate both of them :)

PS: And I STILL can't get rid of duplicated html posting! Aaargh!
