application scenario we'd like to support:

> The user performs selects a menu option on the AS/400 (green screen under
Client Access), and on the resulting green screen panel, presses a function
key.  When the function key is pressed, we'd like to cause MS Internet
Explorer to start and navigate to a certain URL.(i.e. like "IEXPLORE.EXE
http://www.midrange.com";).  We'd like the URL to be variable depending upon
the user.

because I couldn't specify the path "c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer" ...
because that's not a valid DOS path?  I'm also concerned about relying on
PCO because I'm not sure it's a command with much of a future...if DOS
doesn't have much of a future!

execute the command on the PC that the green screen is running on and I'm
not sure I'll know the IP address of that PC.
