Hi Thorsten,

No. Well, not really. You need the pro version to get the CALL
function. Now, the experimental release of View (1.2.10) does include
it I think, and it also includes a set-browser-path function, which
tells the BROWSE function what to launch. I think someone mentioned
commandeering that by setting it to cmd.exe to do that kind of thing.
In the future, it looks like RT might be considering including that
ability in the official free versions.

Yeah but they couldn't get it to work if I remember correctly. However
it would be possible to use the asynchronous pluggable protocol
structures in windows to make a protocol to call wscript or an exe or
what have you, that then parses the protocol passed via the command line
and then redirects to the proper command line required. Unfortunately
doesn't allow communicating with called programs that way, but it might
be a useful hack for older versions of /Core of /View.
