Hi Jerry!

If you want to use ShellExecute you could try this code:

PROCEDURE openUrl(cUrl as String) as VOID
	DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN shell32 integer hWnd,string lpOperation,string lpFile,string lpParameter,;
		string lpDirectory,integer nShowCmd
	ShellExecute(0,"open",ALLTRIM(cUrl),"","",1)
ENDPROC 

This works quite fine opening the default browser.
