Launching Browsers

 [1/4] from: targhan:amigaonline at: 27-Oct-2000 16:41


heys all: One of my pet projects with rebol is a view based web-miner (seems like those are going around, eh?). And, I was wondering if anyone knew of a bit of sample code (or, in light of recent posts: C-O-D-E) that would allow me to launch a browser? How great would it be if the part of view that does that from REB-sites was a function? :) Thanks for the help peeps, Dave

Hi Ingo: My god, that is almost too easy! Who would have figured that they slapped the function browse in there? Very cool indeed! Thanks..... Dave
