1. html execute .exw?
is there a way to make an html doc cause an .exw to execute (on the same
machine)(& optimally then have the html close)? (& is this what "scripting"
is all about?)

This is also a great reason to not run javascript, it can overwrite code, delete
things, change screen settings, delete files, run code stored as a cookie, etc
etc.

3. Re: html execute .exw?
Thanks Kat,
So, to run a Euphoria .exw program, I'd use javascript to
run exw.exe someprog.exw? What would the html code look like, I haven't
used anything like javascript before. And, for people who might have
javascript disabled :) , is there a more direct way to execute a Euphoria
.exw program from an html doc?

For winders, open regedit, word search in keys for "mailto", and make a
similar key for whatever you wanna call your RunExw button. You'll prolly find
the first mailto in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Do the search again till you
clone all the mailto entries.

5. Re: html execute .exw?
Ok, I'll look at the examples now.
What I'm trying to do is make a html page that could be distributed with a
.exw program which would execute the .exw when the html is clicked on, sort
of like a "re-direct".
[OT] "Did you know Google is watching you?"
PCWorld July 03 asserts that Google "...keeps track of every search you
perform, identifies you with a unique ID, and has links to the
U.S.Department of Defense?"
I tried to verify this by looking at my cookies, but it didn't seem to be
true (the unique id), but...?

Did they mention WinXP tells M$ what search terms you use on seach
engines, as well as word searches on local drives? It's one of those things it
tells M$ when it phones home or when you "upgrade". Yep, M$ swaps
employees with the usa gov, rather than tell them directly in other ways.

Google "has links to" everything! That is the whole idea.
To answer the original question, you can just put a link to an EXE file
(which can load an EXW if you want) but it will depend on the settings
whether it tries to run or DL the exe file.
Of course what you are trying to do is a major security breach so it won't
be possible on any sensible system.

That's not what he meant. What he means is Google sends search data to
the DOD, your ip#, search terms, time of day, all the http headers, anything
else they know.

Can't say for sure, but I think they meant *more* than just "a web link"; I
think they meant a *data* link, as in *sharing* info about individuals
searches. Whether they do or not is another question.

Got it, I think I'll forget about doing that.
