RE: Launching a local file in the default browser

[Ken Ray]

Richard, you posted this to the MC list last year under the header :

 Found it:  You have to explicitely tell the Finder, like this:

    put "tell application "&quote&"Finder"&quote&cr&"open "&quote& \
        tFilePath &quote&cr&"end tell" into s
    do s as AppleScript

See: http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/metacard/2002-January/000569.html

But I just checked it and it doesn't work for me. I'll keep looking...
