I want to open up a browser window for my users when they click on a link in my game. I am using this: system_ "help.html" This does not do anything in version 1.14. What's wrong? Thanks

Does this work (on all platforms) for local files (e.g. "help/index.html")? What about email ("mailto:aaa@...")?

Mailto: works for me. I'd imagine local files will work as well.

They both work here, on Windows XP, but I'm wondering about Mac/Linux
