Open html file with Internet Explorer

[Ali Mac]

Hey there.
Is there a way to open an html file with a specific web browser?
I have a script which uses Buddy API to open an html file using the default
web browser, but since the html file I am opening is a web page made by
PowerPoint, it doesn't work in Netscape, and we tested it on a machine whose
default browser was set to Netscape, and the file opened incorrectly with
errors.

I need it to open the file in Internet Explorer.
Thanks.

Hi Ali Mac,

You can use the "open with" Lingo command to specify an application to where
the document will be opened.
open "test.htm" with "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

However, you need to know the full path to where the selected application
(in this case IE) is installed on the users' machines.
