CEF Browser - what is wrong with my script

[Mark Waddingham]

Yes please do - also maybe mention we should make revBrowserOpenCEF throw a more appropriate error in macOS.

General advice on Mac use open, on win/Linux use openCef. This will give you reasonably consistent environments on all three desktop platforms.
