Hi Varen,

What sort of URL are you trying to create? Rev uses this syntax for web 
pages and files.
For web pages, the structure needs to be the same as the address in a 
browser e.g.
	get URL "http://www.google.com"

For files,  you need to know the complete path to the file (unless it 
is in the defaultFolder) and whether it is text or binary.
e.g.
	get URL ("file:" & pathToFolder & "/MyFileName.txt"
or
	get URL ("binfile:" & pathToFolder & "/MyPicture.jpg"

HTH,
Sarah
