ShellExecuteA
Here's the code for those in the same skill set as myself...

Declare a Global External Function
FUNCTION long ShellExecuteA( ulong hWnd, string Operation, string lpFile, &
string lpParameters, string lpDirectory, int nShowCmd ) LIBRARY "shell32.dll"

Script
ls_null

ShellExecuteA( 0, "open", "path\to\any.pdf", ls_null, ls_null, 1 )' or
ShellExecuteA( 0, "open", "path\to\any.xls", ls_null, ls_null, 1 )' or
ShellExecuteA( 0, "open", "path\to\any.doc", ls_null, ls_null, 1 )' etc...!!!1

Enjoy.
