Works here as well. Keep in mind, though, that the url function is a, well,
function, so the argument should be in parentheses. Also, it's probably a bad
idea to name a variable the same as a built-in keyword.

put url("http://www.google.comm") into tHtmlText; put the result

...and when in doubt, don't trust the message box - put the code into the script
of a button and click it to see the results.
