revGoURL unexpected results

[Barry Levine]

I was trying to have Rev launch my browser and open an html file that I 
generated from within Rev. Here's the code:

ask file "Please provide a name for this file" with "Untitled-" & the 
seconds & ".htm"
   if it is not empty then -- if the user wants to save the file
     put myVar into URL ("file:" & it) -- myVar has the contents of the 
file
     -- hard disk name becomes "localhost" under OSX, maybe other OS's 
too?
     put it into myVar
     set the itemDelimiter to "/"
     put "localhost" into item 2 of myVar
     --answer myVar -- for testing purposes
     revGoURL "file:/" & myVar
   end if

Here's the strange part: The file, though written exactly as expected, 
opens in TextEdit rather than IE (which is what is configured in the 
Internet System Pref); and TextEdit displays the file perfectly (with 
the html table I generated in a earlier part of the handler displying 
perfectly).

Before I replaced the name of my hard drive with "localhost", IE would 
launch -but- only my homepage would display.

So what gives? Any advice would be appreciated. You should know that 
"myVar" contains no spaces.

Thanks,
Barry
