This appears to be a limitation of the START command under XP.  This
worked:

STRPCCMD PCCMD('"c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
http://www.mywebpage.com?&userid=My+Name') PAUSE(*YES)

Does anyone have any experience with interfacing with a browser from the
system i?

I am trying to pull up a webpage with parameters (in this sample -
userid) and it stops on the webpage right after the ? field.  Nothing
after the ? is passed to the page.

Does anyone have any suggestions or samples on how to do this?

We would potentially like to pull up maps, etc. from a system i
application.

STRPCO     PCTA(*NO)                                   
MONMSG     MSGID(IWS4010)                              
STRPCCMD   PCCMD('START http://www.mywebpage.com?&userid=My+Name')    +
PAUSE(*NO)  

Or would a RUNRMTCMD command be an better solution?
