How do I open a text doc?

-----------------------------------

I know how to open a file and extract information from it, but I want to actually open a file. Like when you double click it and it opens. 

Im going to have a help file and I want to have a way for people to access it from turing.

"Would you like to read the help file before continueing?"
get answer

Then the text file opens up if they say yes.

Sys.Exec("filename")

the file will be opened by the program accosiated with it. Such as if it's a .txt, it will be notepad. Firefox will open .html, etc.
