I am looking for the same solution! Why doesn't this work?

begin
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://www.google.com');
end;

use Host Built in for this.

HOST('C:PROGRAM FILESPLUS!MICROSOFT INTERNETIEXPLORE WWW.YAHOO.COM');

call any operating system application using host built in and don't forget to put the path.

let me know if this answers your question

There is a restriction on this.

"Can only be used from within a form run from the Web"

Use Host built in.
