The REALbasic module doesn't exist in an RBScript.  ShowURL wouldn't
work unless the IDE engineers had added such a command to the IDE
script context.  Which they haven't done -- see the "IDE Script" entry
in the LR for the (documented) context methods and properties.

Well, first, file a feature request; new context methods are easy to
add.  Second, perhaps you can use DoShellCommand as a work-around.  The
exact shell command would depend on the platform, but it should be
possible for at least OS X, and probably Linux and Windows too.

HTH,
