ok asuming widows user....

one way is to use the system command and call start and url, like this: system("start http://www.highend.comhttp://your.url.here");. In the same manner you could call photoshop etc etc. also theres no reason why you couldnt dynamicaly generete the string passed to system.

another way without using a system-call, FYI:
showHelp -absolute "http://www.mypage.com/help.html";

ok i kindf knew that... But a sytem call should have been so ovious that no one could have missed it
