Re: Launch Internet browser from Green Screen - Size limit

[Patrick L Archibald <Patrick.Archibald@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've ask this before but maybe someone has found a solution recently.

Has anyone found a way to overcome the 123 character limit of the PCCMD 
parameter on the STRPCCMD command? Some of my URLs are longer than 123 
characters.

Thanx, PLA
