On my Linux and Win98 boxes it opens up the file using the browser specified in
the WebLink options. I think you need to specify the full path of the file or
else the file can't be found.

I implemented the Remote GoTo because I needed to write an introductory pdf which
described and provided links to all the other pdfs on a CD and we wanted to do
that only using Acrobat Reader.
