How do I launch a browser page from J?

NB. necessary on older versions of J:  load '~system/extras/util/browser.ijs'
launch_jbrowser_ 'http://www.jsoftware.com'
launch_jbrowser_ 'file:///C:/dir/subdir/localpage.htm'

The browser used can be configured from menu Edit|Configure|External Programs|Web Browser. Check this if there are any problems launching the browser.
