Hi there,

we just tried it on the Mac - surely the script has to be
adapted since the mac doesn't use drive letters - so if You
don't know the names of the drive you cannot give an
absolute path - but it could work with relative paths:
sl=window.open("wysiwyg://1/file:////");
those 4 slashes show the directory in which netscape is
installed (every extra slash goes one dir up)
it is at least possible to get files from that directory
with:
java.io.File(\"test.txt\")
alas I'm not so firm with JavaScript and thus I did not get
a working code with the quoting for higher dir levels -
earned only JavaScript Errors
but I think this is only my personal problem, isn't it?! ;-)
have fun, Shalom dann,
NOrbert
