Hi, I'm learning applescript. I posted here before and got some great feedback. What I'm looking for is a short snippet of code that will open a file on a cd rom with a specific browser. I've tried searching for code on the web but I haven't found much of anything useful.
Right now I have this.

tell application "Netscape CommunicatorTM"
Get URL "(this is where I need to know the format for a file on a CD)"
end tell

I've used this to open a file on the HD but I don't know how to use it for a CD. Another question to tag onto this is for calling a specific application using the name "Netscape CommunicatorTM". The file I'm opening uses chime and must also be run under Netscape 4.76 specifically. The user must install this program with the application, but if they allready have Netscape 4.79 or another version installed, is there any way that I can be sure the version 4.76 will be used to open this file?
Thanks for any help on any of the questions.
