opening local files

Hi all,
Is there a way to open local files in their default application from a Processing program? How about loading in JPG or GIF images into P5 dynamically from a local file path?
Thanks a million!

it's gonna be specific to your platform--it works differently on windows, macosx, and linux. searching google for info on Runtime.exec() to open files will do it. there are also some java utility classes out there that handle it in a cross-platform way to hide the nastiness as well.
