You can do this:
STRPCCMD PCCMD('"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Iexplore.exe" 
http://www.google.ca')

from a CL program.  You could have a program do that from QCMDEXEC or 
something.   It launches the browser to the specified web address.

Just to clarify ... you want some gesture on the 5250 screen to invoke a
browser at a specific URL?

Although not invoking a browser, we've accomplished this by running a
small server program on the workstation that listens for a connection
from the iSeries.  When the appropriately authenticated connection &
data is received, we invoke code on the client that does stuff.

You could make that code just invoke the default browser with the
appropriate URL.
