Actually, it seems that it doesn't matter if you tell the Finder to open
the URL; three slashes works for Safari, Opera, IE, Mozilla, OmniWeb and
Camino (I didn't get a chance to test iCab). The approach I used (after
stripping file type/creator was taking the path to the file, removing
the first slash if there was one and then:

  send "file:///" & tPath to program "Finder" with "GURLGURL"
