I know this has been discussed but I cant find it
What is the appropriate way to mimic double clicking on a file on a remote computer.
I want to use this to launch blu rays on my htpc, which works fine if I double click on the index.bdmv file

It's done via the app control server. There's a System::InvokeFile command that will do this. You provide the binding for the app control server to do it through and the path on the remote system.

Is this documented anywhere?
Exactly what should the binding be? The name of the computer?

The binding is the binding for the app control server. It will show you any currently running app control servers to select from. So you need to start up the ACS on the system(s) where you want to be able to send the command.
