RE: creating menu item to open a PDF file

[Rick.Henkel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

In case anyone is curious, this is possible in Frame 6 using the hypertext key
word as in the following example.

<Command FAQ
<Hypertext message openfile filename.pdf>
<Mode All>>

This might be what the 5.5.6 Release Notes were referring to. I have to wait
till I get home to try that.

Unfortunately, because we're still on 5.5.3, I can't use this option yet. I
guess that's just something to look forward to when we make the move . . .
unless someone has any other ideas about how to make it work in 5.5.3?? Maybe
I'll try to add a link from the online help.
