Description Jeff McAffer CLA 2005-01-31 22:54:12 EST 
The method UpdateUI.showURL() used BrowserManager from help.base.  Looking at 
references it seems that this is always used simply to show a URL in an 
embedded browser.  

Suggest looking at the code in ProductInfoDialog.openLink() (in the UI plugin) 
and then harassing the UI team to make this API or pushing the help open 
browser support down.
