[R] Opening a web browser from R?

[J.delasHeras at ed.ac.uk]

Hi,

I was wondering if there's a way in R to open a web browser (such as  
Internet Explorer, or Firefox or whatever).
I'm doing some analyses that have associated urls, and it would be  
nice to have the ability to directly open the relevant page from  
within R.
I was looking at the help for 'url' and I can see I can probably  
access the information I need and display it in my own way, but can I  
somehow just open the given url with my web browser of choice?

many thanks for any help,

Jose
