Hi Michael,
Thanks for that... Seems everything is leading me to the windows api... I was trying to avoid it because I'm just not overly familiar with it....I was trying stuff and ended up with ie opening with this type of address:

moi://ui/hello_world.txt

Just getting my head around that working inside of the MoI command interface is a bit different..

I dont expect you to get to involved in this, thanks for the heads up on using the windows api with javascript.... What I am doing is not that complicated so I should be able to figure it out...

Thanks again.
