Need a couple of how-to's for VDC.

I'm usually pretty good at digging through code and figuring out
things on my own, but these two items have me stumped.

Here is what I need to do:

1) Launch an url.  I either need to be able to have a hotlink or a
button when pressed with launch an url in a browser.  I've tried
everything I can think of including just a menu option that does an
execute of the url.  No luck.

2) Similar to 1.  I have PDF files that need to come up on the client
computer.  I can display an icon for each file, but I need to make the
icons clickable to send the file to the client.  So far everything
I've tried gives an error.

Also a minor thing.  Anyway to get cut and paste to work in VDC?
