If this is Windows, see shell.exec. On any platform, see browseURL.
Does help.search("url") not get you there?

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,
Jose
