IIRC one can (also?) say "start $something" to get $something opened
with the program it's asssociated with. I have no idea whether that's a
shell built-in or an external program though.
You remember correctly: One can write `start www.xemacs.org' in
MS Window's command interpreter `cmd'. It should be an adapter
for the `open' action of the shell. I don't think anyway that
XEmacs is searching for that program as the stable series of
XEmacs encounters no problems opening URLs.
