Woah... before we start re-inventing the wheel.... Can't think why the engine
isn't just passing the url to UIApplication openURL: but that would be a pretty
easy external to write:
lcidl file:
command openURL
in pURL as objc-string
return boolean
implementation file:
bool openURL (NSString *pURL)
{
return [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL
URLWithString:pURL]];
}
