GOod to know. Chipp mentioned something about escaping file names;
presumably this has something to do with that.

If the file path to your document contains spaces, it might confuse
the
start command.

Just to close the loop on my earlier question....
Chipp and I walked through on the phone the use of the "start"
command in the Win shell and for some reason, it worked fine. I think
I was enclosing the file name in quotation marks earlier and when I
took them out, voila!
So the bare-bones version of this is simplicity itself:
on mouseUp
if the platform is "Win32" then
put "start" && the eBookContents of this stack into openCmd
else
put "open" && the eBookContents of this stack into openCmd
end if
put shell (openCmd) into shellResult
end mouseUp
Lots of error-checking and other stuff to add, of course, but this
gets me to the next level.
I appreciate everyone's help, esp. Jonathan, who went way above and
beyond and, of course, Chipp.
