I'm not aware of a general solution, but it's pretty easy to call external programs in Windows using the FFI. This is my first contact with FFI, so I'm not sure whether this is the most elegant solution but it seems to work.
Yes - this seems like the best option. Which means I will have to move to Squeak 2.8. I'll have to see if I can make this work on all platforms (winShellOpen:, macShellOpen: and unixShellOpen:) inside a single image.
To cool thing about ShellExecute is that Windows knows the right application from the file extension. So it opens a *.html file in your favorite browser.
Perfect! This lets me avoid have a preference dialog to set the browser path. On the other hand, having that dialog would allow the option of using Scamper...
