Open PDF Files in a Standard Viewer

Description:

     Displays the specified PDF file.

Usage:

     openPDF(file, bg=TRUE)

Arguments:

    file: A character string, indicating the file to view

      bg: Should the pdf viewer be opened in the background.

Details:

     Currently this function works on Windows and Unix platforms. 
     Under Windows, whatever program is associated with the file
     extension will be used.  Under Unix, the function will use the
     program named in the option "pdfviewer" (see 'help(options)' for
     information on how this is set.)

     The 'bg' argument is only interpreted on Unix.

Value:

     This function is executed for its side effects.  The specified PDF
     file is opened in the PDF viewer and 'TRUE' is returned.
