Opening Browse programatically

[Joshua Minor]

I made an activity wrapper for the interactive fiction interpreter  
Frotz.  I want to have a button in the toolbar called "Get More Games"  
that opens a web page where you can download z-machine files.

It looks like Chat lets you copy links to the clipboard and you can  
open them from there.  I'll try that for now.
