open URL in web browser

[Mischa]

Hi Reg,

I'm not a Mac user, so I just use the Apple script approach because it is
said to work. However, when "Launch program ,[mLink]" works on both
platforms, this is even better, thanks!
I just wonder why TL does not provide a native command for opening a web URL
- this is something nearly every application needs, and can't be that
complicated to implement ...

Best greetings
Mischa

Hi Mischa & all,

I had just changed to using "Launch program ,[mLink]" on both Mac and 
Win. (See the recent thread on this list).

Is there any reason why the applescript is better on Mac?

Cheers,
Reg
