There might be some way with Apple Events or taking apart the Internet
Config prefs, but I've never tried. Note that the method I gave will work
for files on disk as well as normal URLs:
send
"file:///Macintosh%20HD/Cross%20Worlds%20Computing/Web%20site%20central/test
.htm" to program "Finder" with "GURLGURL"
And email:
send "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to program "Finder" with "GURLGURL"
You can use the replace command to replace space with the required "%20".
