You open up programs like so:
code:
shell ("whatever")
You may be able to do something like:
code:
shell ("iexplore.exe http://www.compsci.ca/")
but that forces the user to use IE instead of their default browser.

The code found here claims to be able to open up web pages with the default browser.
