Double-clicking on a file opens it via the system. On mac, double clicking a text or html files open them with the default program, ie. TexEdit and Safari.

hi,

in the helpbrowser it is possible to open files,
like introduction.txt or index.htm, "outside" Pd.

is it possible to use this functionality inside a patch;
like with a message to pd?
(without using an external lib).

the documentation for (my) patches is sometimes too extensive
to use the Pd comment.
