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.....
