Wow, that was easy. Thanks! I see open is an oldie, man says it's from NextStep.
One little bug I think though, it does not seem to allow anchors on local
files. For example, with apache running locally the following opens the
given file and scrolls to the given anchor just fine:
open "http://localhost/3.6man/xephem.html#SkyView";
and the following opens the same document too but just stays at the top:
open "file:///Library/Documents/3.6man/xephem.html#SkyView"
I notice that in the first case safari's URL line includes the #SkyView
but it is missing in the second. I guess open stripped it off?
This is significant to me because I would prefer not to ask the user to start
a web server (aka 'Personal Web Sharing') just to view some local pages.
Thanks in advance for any more suggestions...
