Opening URL in default browser.

Hi,

Is it possible to have squeak run the default web browser and have it
go to a url?

Hi Mike,

Yes.

You need the FFI package. Assuming you are in Windows
Win32Shell>>shellExplore: aPathString gives you an example to open the
Windows explorer on a path. This can be tailored to open your
favourite web browser.

There is an alternative in the OSProcess and CommandShell packages
which I never used myself.

Cheers,

Herbert

The ScratchPlugin has an openUrl primitive, too. It's going to be included in the VM soonish, for now you could get it from Scratch or Etoys:
