Opening Files after Pressing Buttons

[bigmike9449]

Hi, I'm new to this site, but i came here for help.

im trying to make a very basic program using Delphi7 and i'd like to know, what kind of script or code do i need to use to open any file, like a text or pdf because i want to assign it to a button.

and what script/code would i need so that one button opens up a different menu i made?

thanks.
