'GURLGURL' on Mac OS X

[Richard Gaskin]

On Mac OS 9 and earlier, launching a Web page in the user's default browser
is a snap:

  send "http://www.fourthworld.com" to program "Finder" with "GURLGURL"

However, this fails under OS X; apparently the 'GURL' event is no longer
supported.

How does one open the user's default browser to a specific URL under OS X?
