How to launch a URL?

Hi everyone,

How does one determine the users homepage and launch the url in their default browser? I was able to do this in classic, but now, in X i get bad_access... and im not sure what to do....

the code I am trying to use:


BOOL GetHomePage(Str255 str){
OSStatus err;
ICInstance inst;
ICAttr junk = 0;
err = ICStart(&inst, '????'); // Use your creator code if you have one!
if (err == noErr) {
// err = ICFindConfigFile(inst, 0, nil); this line doesn't work in Carbon
if (err == noErr) {
//Get the Home Page
err = ICGetPref(inst, kICWWWHomePage, (unsigned long*)junk, (void*)str, (long*)sizeof(Str255));
if ( err != noErr){
return false;
}
return true;
}
(void) ICStop(inst);
}
return (err);
}



I get bad_access on ICGetPref. hummmmMMmmm... what to do what to do......

-Morgan
