Bert,

Thanks, I was able to get it to work by putting:
ScratchPlugin primOpenURL: 'http://squeakland.org/'
into a Text box, then <cmd-6> and "Do it"

Then I tried to put it into a script by opening an empty script and the "show textual code" and placing " ScratchPlugin primOpenURL: 'http://squeakland.org/' (Used my blog post URL instead)

When I clicked on the exclamation point to run it once, well, I wound up improving my Google Analytics by 3,300% before I had to Force Quit Etoys to stop it opening pages. It seems it just kept opening the URL over and over.

I entered a ticket as you suggested, but how can I safely create a script to open a URL in an external Web Browser? A sample project would be much appreciated.

Wow! Now that is an interesting bug. I have no idea what happened there. I'd suspect a bug in the ScratchPlugin. Had to kill my Etoys too.

I assume you are on a Mac - can someone confirm this happens on other platforms, too?
