  This will display a URL using your browser, start the browser if needed, 
  uniconify it if already running. It can also be used to view HTML mime   
  attachments.                                                             
                                                                           
  To use this for double-clicking and going to a URL:                      
     edit the three variables in this script for your configuration        
     YAM Config->ARexx->When double-clicking an URL (last entry in list)   
     set the type to ARexx (cycle gadget)                                  
     set the script string to 'Yam:Rexx/YAM2URL.rexx' (assuming it's here) 
     set open console OFF                                                  
     set wait for termination OFF                                          
     SAVE settings                                                         
     you can now double-click on a URL and go to it.                       
                                                                           
  To use this for displaying included HTML attachments:                    
     YAM Config->Read->MimeViewers                                         
     if there is NOT a type for 'text/html' create a NEW one               
     set viewer to: 'sys:rexxc/rx Yam:Rexx/YAM2URL.rexx %s'                
     SAVE settings                                                         
     you can now display HTML attachments by selecting 'Display' from the  
        YAM read window and choosing the HTML attachment from the list.    
                                                                           
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
!!! You need to edit the four values hideyam,browser,runbr, and newwindow.    
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES:

 IF YOU HAVE REASSIGNED THE YAM TEMPORARY DIRECTORY USE THIS FORM:  
 (This value is specified on the Config->Mixed page.)               
                                                                   
 set viewer to: 'sys:rexxc/rx Yam:Rexx/YAM2URL.rexx file:///%s'     

 Also, the '%s' you specify for *MUST* be lowercase. This applies to ALL mime
 prefs, not just the one for Yam2URL. Uppercase '%S' will NOT pass the
 correct information to your mime viewers.

 If you have the rexxtricks.library installed then the browser screen will 
 pop to the front correctly.
