Hello, I poked around the archives and couldn't find anything recent on this. I was wondering if there is an easy way of opening a website window in Eu? Basically all I want to do is have a user click a button in windows and it will launch their browser and take it to my website. That is all it needs to do. Any easy way to do this? Preferably something using win32lib and Eu 3.2? My project is several years running and way to big to port to 4.0+ at the moment.
Thanks! ssallen

I haven't tested it with URLs, but in the click handler, I think this is all you need. It uses the standard file associations in Windows, and works for opening text files in Notepad for me.
shellExecute("open",url,SW_SHOWNORMAL)

On windows, the command "start [url]" opens a url in the default browser, so something like:
system( "start http://openeuphoria.org", -2 )
...should work for your purposes.
