I'm glad this thread is here. I could have used it a few years ago when I first broke away from Microsoft. It took me quite awhile to learn how to call up a native Linux program using the run command. Apparently Wine doesn't recognize Linux paths in the system environment.


'Example: You can't just use
  run "google-chrome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzO-70grxYs"
'You have to use:
  run "\usr\bin\google-chrome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzO-70grxYs"

Sorry Metro, unfortunately I haven't upgraded to LB 4.5. I'm still using 4.4 and I don't think it has httpget$. I would upgrade, but money has been really tight for the last year and I'm kind of waiting for LB 5 for Linux.

Upgrading to LB 4.5.1 is free.  Just download and install it and your existing registration will work fine.
