   DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN SHELL32.DLL INTEGER nWinHandle,;
                                               STRING cOperation,;

                                               STRING cDirectory,;
                                               INTEGER nShowWindow
    result = ShellExecute(0, 'Edit', YourPictureFieldHere , '', '', 1)
    DO CASE
       CASE result ==  0	     && The system is out of memory or resources.
            msg = "The system is out of memory or resources."
       CASE result ==  2	     && Bad Association (for example, invalid URL)
