Let's take stock of:

DECLARE INTEGER GetDesktopWindow IN WIN32API
DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN SHELL32 ;
	INTEGER, STRING, STRING, STRING, STRING, INTEGER

hWnd = GetDesktopWindow()
*** To spawn a browser; the magic word - "HTTP://" :)
ShellExecute( hWnd, 'open', 'http://www.levelextreme.com', '', '.', 5)

*** To create email message; the magic word - "MailTo:"
ShellExecute( hWnd, 'open', 'mailto:Name@DomainName', '', '.', 5)
