Sorry OT, but this works pretty well:
 command.name.1.*=Open URL in Browser
 command.1.*=<browserpath> $(CurrentSelection)
 command.subsystem.1.*=1
 command.mode.1.*=savebefore:no
 command.shortcut.1.*=Ctrl+'
Substitute <browserpath> with the appropriate browser. I tested
with "d:/Programs/FirefoxPortable/FirefoxPortable", seems okay.
Using the SciteOpenUrl Lua script on WinXP unfortunately flashes a
console window due to os.execute(), but the following substitution
in the SciteOpenUrl Lua script sorta works:
 os.execute([[<browserpath> ]]..txt.." ")
where <browserpath> is the appropriate browser's path.
There may be other ways of doing this, because of the flexibility
and configurability of SciTE.
