The LaunchURL extension enables you to launch a specified URL in a web browser (Blazer for the PalmOS 5.x platform or Internet Explorer for the PocketPC platform).  It also enables you to view local html and image files in the web browser.

Usage: result = LaunchURL( strURL )

Pass a fully qualified website URL in the strURL parameter, for example

strURL = "http://www.satelliteforms.net"

To view a local HTML page, text file, or image file (stored on a memory card for PalmOS, internal memory or memory card for PocketPC), use the file:// protocol specifier instead, pointing to the path of the file to view, for example:

strURL = "file:///path/to/htmlfile.htm"

or

strURL = "file:///path/to/myphoto.jpg"

A result value = 0 indicates no errors.  A result value <> 0 is returned if there is an error.
