gotourl
Will go to a url that you construct using multiple parameters. You can use up to 10 parameters called p1,p2,p3,...,p10. Example: gotourl -p1 www. -p2 {randwd} -p3 .org Result: Let say the result of {randwd} is yubnub. Then the command will take you to www.yubnub.org. When testing the command it added http:// to the beginning, and gave an invalid url when I started my first parameter with http://. So omit the http://, like I did in my example.
