[lazarus] Showing URL in default browser

[Darius Blaszijk]

What could be considered as a platform independent way to show an URL in the default browser? Under windows it would be something like:   ShellExecute(0, 'open', MyURL, nil, nil, SW_SHOW);   But it relies on the windows unit. I believe that Lazarus relies on the definition of the browser executable and launching it with the URL as parameter. Is this the way to go?   Darius
