GetURL works in place of the ICLaunchURL calls.  This is its implementation:

        sub GetURL {
            my $url = shift or return;
            ICGeneralFindConfigFile($ICInstance);
            ICLaunchURL($ICInstance, 0, $url);
        }

Not much to it.  :-)  It is just a shortcut.

Hm, I haven't looked at it; what about it doesn't work?
