Hi y'all,

Actually, Juan's example didn't work for me but with a slight modification
it did work.

parm HtmName="c:\temp\default.html"
option nolist
setvar esc,chr(27)
setvar AppName "C:\Program Files\Plus!\Microsoft Internet\Iexplore.exe"
setvar AppHtmName "!AppName !HtmName"
echo !ESC&oG
echo sub main
echo shell "!AppHtmName"
echo end sub
echo !ESC&oH

The redirection was not really needed and in this case if your application
is in the $PATH then there is no need to fully qualify the application.
