4. I would design it so that if I do browse("foo.txt") it opens
foo.txt in the web browser. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it
currently seems that it will open it in the user's text editor on

I don't know how you would accomplish that on Windows, without
accessing the association in the OS registry for e.g. the http
protocol. Might be better to change the documentation instead.
shell("start foo.txt");
At least, I think this would work ;)
No, start uses the same function, ShellExecute. It will open whatever is
associated with .txt files, a text editor probably.
Oh, I thought that was the desired behavior, I misread the above post...
