Translate code from Mac to PC

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Jim,

Your script should work on both Mac and Windows. It would always use the 
default picture viewer to open the PNG file. On Windows 8, this is an 
app called Photo but many people change it to Windows Photo Viewer or 
something else. On Mac it is Preview and only few people will change 
this to a different app.
