HTTP & Command Prompt

[Guest]

Folks:


Is it possible to launch a RealMedia file located at
((http://www.Joeblow.com/Joe100.ram) ) by typing this URL into the Command
Prompt ?

* How can this be done form the command prompt ?
* If not, how can I "adjust" this URL to run from the Command Prompt ?



Thanks,
Jo.

If you use Internet Explorer...

In the Run command:

iexplore http://www.Joeblow.com/Joe100.ram

In a command prompt:

start iexplore http://www.Joeblow.com/Joe100.ram
or
start iexplore www.Joeblow.com/Joe100.ram

I do not know what command you'd use for other browsers.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Insufficient details...
WGET the file to local disk
START the file by fully qualified path
(file plays in system default player for ".ram")
?
