You could only do it if you, the programmer, know what the default browser is. You then pass a string to the outside environment that is the same as you yourself would use to start the program from the command line. ooRexx has no special way of knowing what the default application is for anything. Windows uses a process of launching a default application that relies on file extensions. If you set up a ftype for the .def extension, your Rexx programs can make use of the operating system, otherwise it can't. -- Mark Miesfeld ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
