Jose,
I think shell.exec should do what you want:
shell.exec("http://www.yahoo.com";)

> Subject: [R] Opening a web browser from R?
>
>
> Hi,
>
> I was wondering if there's a way in R to open a web browser
> (such as Internet Explorer, or Firefox or whatever).
> I'm doing some analyses that have associated urls, and it
> would be nice to have the ability to directly open the
> relevant page from within R.
> I was looking at the help for 'url' and I can see I can
> probably access the information I need and display it in my
> own way, but can I somehow just open the given url with my
> web browser of choice?
>
> many thanks for any help,
