Hey Walter,

Firstly - you should tell us what system.  :)

I'd look at two methods.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- From the shell:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
open -a opera /Users/chris/Desktop/Bookmarks.html
open -a opera ~/Desktop/Bookmarks.html

open -a opera "/Users/chris/Desktop/Bookmarks Two.html"
open -a opera ~/"Desktop/Bookmarks Two.html"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Using Vanilla Applescript:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
set _file to alias ((path to desktop as text) & "Bookmarks.html")

tell application "Finder"
	open _file using application file id "OPRA"
end tell
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Best Regards,
Chris
