i use "shell" most of the time on X and never had problems:

...
put "http://....." into tURL
get shell("start" && quote & tURL & quote)

I think so.

And hopefuly immediately in real time and not in "scottish Rev-time"  
which is approximately
10 times longer than "real life" :-D

Example:

A new terstversion of Rev was announced "to come out in the next few  
days" and appeared
about 4 weeks after this nice announcement! ;-)
