Inserting URLs in a LaTeX-document?

[Karl Voit]

I'd like to know, if there's a way to insert a URL to a LaTeX-file, so that
in the resulting file (*.ps), a klick on that spot starts this page in the
www-browser.

E.g. \URL{http://this.server.here/this/path/document.html}

Linux - because it works. (mostly ;)

Yes. The hyperref package, which, in turn, includes url.sty,
defines a "live" \url command. This works just like you example
above. In addition, hyperref defines an \href command, which
can be used as follows:

\href{Click on this spot.}{http://this.server.here/this/path/document.html}
