To display Windows objects such as folders and files

To display Windows objects such as directory folders and files (as in the Windows Explorer directory structure), you include a pathname in the VALUE clause of the DISPLAY WEB-BROWSER statement. For example:

display web-browser, value "c:\acucobol4x\bin".

This displays the folders and files contained in the \acucobol4x\bin directory on the user's local machine in a manner similar to Windows Explorer. The user can open files by double-clicking them. To view the options normally displayed in the Windows Explorer menu bar or toolbar, users can right click in the control. They will see a pop-up menu that contains many useful options for browsing directories.
