My objective: Open a new IE window on the screen without leaving the browser open.
My problem: I don't know how to switch back to the text bar after browse()-ing my program that opens the new window with what I want inside of it.
How do I accomplish this?

shell("start http://www.byond.com") "start" is limited to Win95/98/ME, I believe. Your code will also execute server-side if I'm not mistaken, rendering it useless on the client end. Of course, one wonders what's the point in popping open a new window in the first place, when pop-up browser windows are so annoying. Lummox JR |

Using it opens a dos dialog box for a brief amount of time, then the browser window pops up.

Oh I see, the shell proc scares me so I don't use it much, it has file killing powers (shhh)

shell("start http://www.byond.com")
Would open the url in would open it in a new window, or in one of the other browser windows open.
