And Script Debugger's result window upon running one like that on my
machine shows that the result is
furl($66696C653A2F2F6C6F63616C686F73742F55736572732F6A6F686E2F446F63756D656E74732F414D42312E786C73$)

where that data begins with
file and <correctly> ends with xls
but I'm too lazy to do the rest in my head...file was easy ;-)
