open browser in OS X?

[Terry Judd]

Actually, that wont work with 'file:' urls - file urls are referred to 
the appropriate application to handle. You'll have to resort to launch 
- in which case you'll need the path to the browser as well and will 
only be able to open one file (and then only if the browser isn't 
already open). Or you could set your Rev project up as a local server 
and get it to serve up the file in response to a http request (just 
kidding).
