Cut and paste this function- I know this works

FUNCTION ShellExec
LPARAMETER lcLink, lcAction, lcParms
lcAction = IIF(EMPTY(lcAction), "Open", lcAction)
lcParms = IIF(EMPTY(lcParms), "", lcParms)
DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN SHELL32.dll INTEGER nWinHandle,STRING cOperation, STRING cFileName,STRING cParameters,STRING cDirectory,INTEGER nShowWindow
DECLARE INTEGER FindWindow IN WIN32API ;
STRING cNull,STRING cWinName
RETURN ShellExecute(FindWindow(0, _SCREEN.caption),lcAction, lcLink, lcParms, SYS(2023), 1)

*!* and then try the following link (adjust the paths as necessary):
