Michael,

If your users have GroupWise set up as their default internet e-mail app you can probably use ShellExecute with a mailto tag. Something like this:

DECLARE INTEGER GetActiveWindow IN win32api
hwnd=GetActiveWindow()
DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN shell32 INTEGER, STRING, ;
  STRING, STRING, STRING, INTEGER
m.lnExecResult=ShellExecute(hwnd,'open','mailto:user@company.com', ;
  '', '', 5)

ShellExecute will run whatever program is registered for the file you pass it. It's smart enough to work with e-mail and web addresses.
