; max launchbrowser file:///path/to/appname.app

Replace the path with the correct path to the app or file, including its extension (which may be hidden for apps). Use quotes if it contains spaces.

its built in, but not so easy to find. Its a message to Max called

"launchbrowser" but it will launch anything...

The message to launch the PDF reader and open the Manual for example

The message to launch the PDF reader and open the Manual for example
looks on my system like that:

You could use the system() command in an [rtcmix~] script for this also, 

but it's a bit of overkill (plus I think better solutions such as the 

launchbrowser thing or shell external exist for this).
