also, for some Windows systems, I believe that it is necessary to
replace "/" with "\" in your file path.
Yeah, that appears to be part of it as well. My plan for my
particular app is that the document is stored in the same directory
as the app, so none of that pathing should become an issue. In fact,
if the document *isn't* in the folder with the app, that will
disqualify it from opening.
I'm using WinXP Pro.
Hey Dan, what Windows OS are you using?

Something to be wary of...
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.
