Hi Jeremy,

This is a possible solution: (The code is not mine)

-- start --
include dll.e
include machine.e

atom shell32, parent_handle
shell32 = open_dll("shell32.dll")

parent_handle = 0

constant
    SW_SHOWDEFAULT = 10,
    xShellExecute = define_c_func(shell32, "ShellExecuteA", repeat(C_LONG,
6), C_LONG)

procedure shellExecute(sequence cmd, sequence file, atom style)
-- call ShellExecute to display a file
atom result, file_string, cmd_string
    -- convert to strings
    file_string = allocate_string(file)
    cmd_string = allocate_string(cmd)
    -- call ShellExecute
    result = c_func(xShellExecute, {parent_handle, cmd_string, file_string,
0, 0, style})
    -- free the strings
    free(cmd_string)
    free(file_string)
end procedure

-- open the URL
shellExecute("open", "http://www.RapidEuphoria.com", SW_SHOWDEFAULT)
-- end --
