For the benefit of others, I had arrived at the following horribly contorted sequence which does cope with a fragment identifier but seems way over the top (I'm not a windows guru either). It runs "assoc" to get the file type associated with ".html" then runs "ftype" to find the command to run. Finally it substitutes the URL into that command! --- Assume xmlns:gv="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/namespace/scope/view"; <command name="winXP.openHTML"> <macro> <sequence> <choice> <!-- dont recalculate command if its already known --> <test expression="string-length($gv:winopen.html) > 0"/> <sequence> <command name="run" parameter="assoc .html"/> <get expression="substring-before('%_',' ')"/> <!-- remove newline --> <get expression="substring-after('%_', '.html=')"/> <set variable="Ftype" expression="'%_'"/> <get expression="$Ftype"/> <command name="run" parameter="ftype %_"/> <get expression="substring-before('%_',' ')"/> <!-- remove newline --> <get expression="substring-after('%_', concat($Ftype, '='))"/> <set variable="gv:winopen.html" expression="'%_'"/> </sequence> </choice> <!-- substitute our URL for "%0" or %1" (Windows could use either) --> <get expression="replace($gv:winopen.html, '%%[01]', '%0')"/> <command name="start" parameter="start %_"/> </sequence> </macro> </command> -- Philip Hussein Shafie wrote: > Philip Nye wrote: > >>Unfortunately the Windows version does not seem to work for a URL with a >>fragment identifier.
