open a file in a browser from a newLISP script

I've written this for running on MacOS X:
Code: Select all
(if (= ostype "OSX")
(exec (string "open " file ".html")))
which displays the file.html file in the default web browser. Is there an equivalent form for Windows?

Code: Select all
(set 'filename-with-path "c:/myhtmlfile.html")
(exec filename-with-path)
or more like your example
Code: Select all
(set 'path "c:/" 'filename "myhtmlfile")
(exec (string path filename ".html"))
Beware of spaces in the filename; you'll need to wrap the string like this
Code: Select all
(set 'path "c:/" 'filename {"my html file"})
(exec (string path filename ".html"))
