Commands geginning with "rev" are in scripted libraries.
The AppleScript method ("open location") works well; it's the Apple event
method ("GURLGURL") that fails.

The downside to "open location" is that it does not seem to work with local
files.  So revGoUrl does work well for remote locations, but I have not yet
come up with a robust solution for launching a local file in the user's
default browser in Panther. :(
