Opening local HTML pages in the default browser under OS X

[Sivakatirswami]

Richard, 

I haven't moved up to OSX but will next month probably... and this will be a
(big) issue for us then...don't appleEvents work any more in OSX?

send  "file:///TAKA/index.html"   to program "finder" with "GURLGURL"

works in 9.1... assuming internet config is set up properly on the station
that is running the app. Where "TAKA" is a volume mounted on the desktop...
