Hi there, Thank you all very much for your input. I cooked up some code that kind of works AFAICS. Only tested on my Suse for now, will test under Win9x some other time.
Some questions of a more general nature remain: 1) When I execute the browser, using TProcess.Execute, how do I know if the process started OK (that is the executable started up at least)? 2) I found out that if you try to execute a file which does not have execute permission, the app gets killed, even if this a try..except block. "Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x4cf)!" Is this normal linux behaviour (I'm a newbie)? If someone wants to see what I came up with and even test it under different operating systems and desktop environments, I'll put the unit on my website.
