* A simple, static class to display a URL in the system browser.
*
* Under Unix, the system browser is hard-coded to be 'netscape'.
* Netscape must be in your PATH for this to work. This has been
* tested with the following platforms: AIX, HP-UX and Solaris.
*
* Under Windows, this will bring up the default browser under windows,
* usually either Netscape or Microsoft IE. The default browser is
* determined by the OS. This has been tested under Windows 95/98/NT.
*
* Examples:
*
BrowserControl.displayURL("http://www.javaworld.com")
*
BrowserControl.displayURL("file://c:\\docs\\index.html")
*
BrowserContorl.displayURL("file:///user/joe/index.html");
*
* Note - you must include the url type -- either "http://" or
* "file://".
