Yes, I'm giving:
IDL driven Space Physics Modeling and Investigations
See you there!
Another suggested solution from a friend to my "open url in browser
query" is given as:
oJavaDesktop = OBJ_NEW('IDLJavaObject$Static$JAVA_AWT_DESKTOP',
'java.awt.Desktop')
oJavaURI = OBJ_NEW('IDLJavaObject$JAVA_NET_URI', 'java.net.URI',
'http://www.cnn.com/')
if (oJavaDesktop->isDesktopSupported()) then begin
oBrowser = oJavaDesktop->getDesktop();
oBrowser->browse,oJavaURI
OBJ_DESTROY, oBrowser
endif
;Remove Objects
OBJ_DESTROY, oJavaURI, oJavaDesktop

Here's my solution:
http://michaelgalloy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/mg_open_ url.pro
It is a "spawn" solution, but has separate cases for the different
operating systems. Mac OS X and Windows have nice (though different)
ways to open the default web browser on the URL. On other Unix systems,
a file dialog will come up to select your web browser. It will remember
your choice, so you only have to choose once (I suppose I should add a
keyword to force the choice so that you can change your mind later).
