revGoURL solution found

[Barry Levine]

My previous post complained about TextEdit opening HTML files (I was 
generated from within Rev) after calling the "revGoURL" command (rather 
than IE opening them as it is the app selected in the Internet System 
Prefs).

The problem seems to be that I haven't specifically assigned IE as the 
creator of the files. The temporary workaround (actually permanent on 
-my- Mac) is to get info on one of the files and change the owning app 
to IE and "change all". This now directs all files with a ".htm" suffix 
to open with IE.

However, upon searching through the Transcipt dictionary, I found the 
"fileType" command. Using this line of code:

set the fileType to "MSIETEXT"

before actually using "puy myVar into URL..."etc. sets the creator and 
type to IE and all is resolved. When I use the "revGoURL" command, IE is 
either launched or comes to the foreground and the file is opened.

Problem resolved...on Macs, anyway. We'll have to see how the 
distribution version on Windows behaves.
