...specific file in the HTML browser...

...I would like to open the default HTML browser (like help.start()

does) to

show the file. Is it possible to do this (without trying to do a

system

dependent search for possible browsers)?...

I realize that you're running Windows, but this works for me on Linux,
and might be mangled into shape (sorry, I can't do it on a Linux box).
