I want to configure an external program to use LiveCode as a web browser
rather than a default browser - in the config options it allows you to
specify a command line that will open a browser of you choice with the given
url:

> A shell command used to launch your preferred web browser when given a URL as an argument.

Any suggestions as to what i could try?
