The trick is you need <b>gb.desktop</b> component and then it
will work.<br>

Let's say I have a URL displayed in a URLLabel control. What is
the simplest way to implement open that URL in the user's
preferred web browser? Say with a single click.
<br>
<br>
Only a few requirements:
<br>
* desktop independent (I don't know whether they have a "default
browser" or whatever
<br>
* open the browser in a new window (independent of the desktop)
<br>
* independent of the GUI involved in the current gambas project
(???)
<br>
* get a fairly clear indication of anything that (may or does) go
wrong.
<br>
<br>
Not too hard is it? So how come I can't do it? ;-( (Age may be a
factor).
