Well, that's because system( ) uses COMMAND.COM, the DOS command
interpreter. In Win95 Explorer.exe is the command interpreter you want. So
have system( ) run Explorer and pass the address as a parameter like this:
system( "explorer http://members.aol.com/FilesEu/", 0)
or
system( "explorer mailto:whomever at wherever.com", 0)
That works. At least on my system (Win95 OSR2 with IE 4.0 extensions.)
I have no idea how to do it in Win3.x, though... And I have a sneaky
suspicion that you *might* have to pass the address to the browser's EXE
instead of Explorer.exe on some computers depending upon their
configuration. Probably not, but maybe....
