I tried it in the MC message box on my Mac, too, and it worked.

Where it failed was in the standalone on Windows.  Is anything needed 
in the standalone besides libUrl for it to work?

The whole thing was weird.  My hand built goUrl code didn't work on 
Windows, either, whereas on Mac it was fine.  That's what made me 
look at it.  I didn't know launch url existed (new in 2.9) until I 
tried to find out why Windows wouldn't go to the url as it always had 
before.  I deleted my customized goUrl code and replaced it with 
launch url, using the tUrl variable I had always used.

Maybe it needs to be in quotes in the variable?
