MaxGui: Run a PDF document?

Hi!

My app has a PDF help file.
So I'd like having a link inside my gui which open it up.

Somewhat like "Openfile", just that it opens the pdf reader and document.

Is this possible?

OpenURL "myfile.pdf" works on win32.

I posted a macos fix so that it works in the same way on mac...
No idea on the linux mileage.

Oh... seems this stupid reader 7.0.8 hung itself when I first tried that. Now it works.

What kind of macro fix did you make?

OpenURL should work on Mac and Linux?

According to the bug report, the Mac OpenURL was fixed.
(not sure whether it's been sync'd yet tho as my Mac is at the doctors)

Check the code archives, I think somebody posted a PDF reader/writer module.
