Hi Drew
Thanks for your reply.
(I am trying to preview a local .html file in my Internet Explorer browser)
I do not understand this > 'M-: < command you give?
When I try this (& combinations of) in the minibuffer I get 'no-match'
Is that really the command? (I did an internet search for it & couldn't find
it).
Anyway I have not been able to try this yet as I cannot enter the command:
`M-: (w32-shell-execute nil "c:/my/file.htm")'
Can you please explain/clarify this for me?
Many thanks, regards
