Launching a URL in OSX is Cake?

[Scott Rossi]

Howdy List:

Am I missing something or is the launching URLs and mail links extremely 
easy in OSX?

Using the following seems to launch IE or Mail perfectly:

    ### tURL is the HTTP or mail address to be launched
    put "open location" && quote & tURL & quote into s
    do s as AppleScript

Does anyone know of a reason why this method should be avoided?
