This works great for opening the user's default browser to a specified
remote URL under OS X:

      put "open location "&quote&tURL&quote into s
      do s as applescript


But what do I do to open a local HTML page under OS X?  Using the above,
even with the "file://" service specifier, fails (page not found).
