Description | The revGoURL command was previously used to open a web page in the user's browser application from within a stack. On Windows and Linux systems, the URL is opened by the default system application for the url type. For "http" URLs, this will be the system default web browser, for "file" URLs it will be the default application associated with that file. On Mac OS and OS X systems, the URL is opened in the application the user has set for that URL protocol in the Internet control panel (or, for older system versions, Internet Config). For example, "mailto:" URLs are opened in the email program, "http:" URLs are opened in the web browser, and so on.
