<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">>Recently, Richard Gaskin lamented the difficulty of launching a local HTML<BR>

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

Try this, Shari (a Scott Rossi - Monte Goulding gem)...<BR>
<BR>
on launchFile pFileName<BR>
set the hideConsoleWindows to true<BR>
put empty into theTitle<BR>
if "NT" is in the systemVersion then<BR>
set the shellCommand to "cmd.exe"<BR>
put quote & quote into theTitle<BR>
end if<BR>
get shell("start" && theTitle && quote & pFileName & quote)<BR>
end launchFile<BR>
<BR>
Works for any full url (local or web) path name. Very neat solution. And I hate both of them :)<BR>
<BR>

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