sorry, I forgot to say that they all also support URL! Use the console's help as often as you can. its VERY usefull to know what a function needs, does and it gives you a good cue as to if this is really the function you are looking for...
Really, adopting this philosophy answers a lot of questions for me. I still use help on the most basic functions time and time again, to be sure I don't miss any refinements. (sometimes those refinements aren't obvious, but once you've tried one, you generally, at least, rememeber what it does if you see it... I hadn't used all on mold so didn't get what it did).
