URL Field Types - very basic question!

This is a very basic question, I think.
I've created a Content Type called "Resource". I want of the fields to be "URL", into which the resource creator enters a URL (duh!). The user should then be able to click on that link! How do I set that up/
In other words:
How can I create a field type that contains a general clickable link (i.e. to to a Drupal Node).
I'm sure the answer is very simple, but it's evading me.
Thanks

Link module
A popular field module for CCK is the Link module. That's the approach I'd take, although there are several other modules that create new content types that have URL fields. Janode is one, which has the advantage of checking the health of the URLs and unpublishing the Janode nodes if a link stops working.
Thanks!
Just what I was looking for!
As simple as "find the right module". It's a different way of thinking in the Drupal/Open Source world!
Thanks.
