Hi Chris,


I just tested this out on my own machine and Get URL launched my system's

default browser and opened the URL I wanted.  I used Mac G3, OS 8.6, but

I've done this successfully on Windows machines as well.


Did you specify   window="_blank"   when you tried the Get URL command?

Did you reference an absolute link in your URL?  Does your system have a

default browser specified?


Check up on these details, and if you still have probs, please scrawl again.


Good luck!
