Linking to web sites and files from Mac OS X

[Mike Brown]

Thanks Ken!  The revGoURL function works perfect for launching the browser
on Mac and Windows.  I never knew of this function, I have been doing the
long scripted method of getting the platform, etc...


I don't suppose there are other Rev functions for launching an App from all
platforms or opening a folder?  I will use get the platform and
systemversion functions to implement individual methods if no such Rev
functions exist.

Thanks again for the help!!

Best,
Mike
