the command line.
COMMANDS

- kfmclient openURL url [ mimetype ]
Opens a window showing url. url may be a relative path or file name, such as . or subdir/. If url is omitted, $HOME is used instead.If mimetype is specified, it will be used to determine the component that Konqueror should use. For instance, set it to text/html for a web page, to make it appear faster.
