Hi Shari,

Open up the Rev IDE and have a look at the scripts in the revCommon
library which you can get to using the Backscripts section of the
Message box. It contains the scripts for revGoURL and various other
Windows-related handlers. You might be able to work out how Rev does
it and and see if you can adapt this to your needs.

Cheers,
Sarah
