[ale] OT: Execute a URI on winbloze

[cfowler at outpostsentinel.com (Christopher Fowler)]

Here is one way that uses ActiveX

function LaunchCommand()
{
var launcher = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
launcher.Run("cmd.exe");
}


I guess Linux guys are smarter than that...  Is there a way I can
execute xterm on the users system?
