I'm reading the source code and it sais that parameters are windows specific,
take a look below.
also I can not believe nobody needed to embed a word doc and launch it on
the click.
The API could be deficient, I don't disagree. If need be I will drop itText
and use something that works, but that's wasn't my question.
/** Launches an application or a document.
* @param application the application to be launched or the document to
be opened or printed.
* @param parameters (Windows-specific) A parameter string to be passed
to the application.
* It can be <CODE>null</CODE>.
* @param operation (Windows-specific) the operation to perform: "open"
- Open a document,
* "print" - Print a document.
* It can be <CODE>null</CODE>.
* @param defaultDir (Windows-specific) the default directory in
standard DOS syntax.
* It can be <CODE>null</CODE>.
* @return a Launch action
