There is no need to continue this thread. The next release of K-95 will
have an interface to ShellExecute(). If it works for you, you'll like
it. If it doesn't (and experimentation shows that this API is not the
panacea that many have made it out to be), you'll still be able to specify
a particular browser and get the current behavior.

And you can also do this (in any recent K95 version):
define URL {
run start \v(select)
if terminal-macro connect
}
set mouse button 1 alt drag \Kurl
Select a URL with Alt-drag mouse button 1 and there you are.
But this, again, begs the question of whether ShellExecute(blah) works
for you, where blah is a URL. It does not work for everybody. Believe
me.
