On OS X you can use "shell":

on mouseUp
   put "http://www.major-k.de" into tUrl
   ## does work with other URLs, too, of course :-)
   get shell("open" && tUrl)
end mouseUp

Will do exactly what you want..

On windows there might be a similar approach, but i am not sure...

Hope that helps.

> thanks!
