Hi!
Does anyone have any idea on how I would go about opening a Finder/Explorer window at a specific path from within Hollywood?

Thanks!

Exactly what I was looking for. Works like a dream.
I actually found this command but didn't bother to test it as I assosiate URL's with the Internet. I was schooled.

Follow up question:
This works fine in Windows, but I compiled it for MacOS and tried it, and it doesn't seem to work with Finder?

GetSystemInfo().
Combined with GetVersion() this is a rocking combination
