You can use the open command (see the man page for details):
open -a Internet\ Explorer http://www.cnn.com
or, if you don't want to specify a particular app:
open http://www.cnn.com
neither worked for me.
first example opened explorer w/o trying to access the url.
2nd example got 'No such file' prepended with current path.
Do you have a preferred browser set in the Web tab of the Internet
control panel? I tried this and it worked for me, launching my
preferred browser with the appropriate URL.

yes. internet explorer is my default browser -- and, as i say -- IE
itself is launched ok -- but the url isn't accessed.
Oh well. Better go with the osascript method, then.
