*grin* Despite it's faults and verbose english-like syntax...which
can lead you into believing the language is more forgiving than other
languages, which it's not...it's great fun to work with. And you can
do a great deal with AppleScript. If you learn AppleScript now you'll
also have a head start towards an even more powerful option -
AppleScript Studio. AppleScript Studio work happens in XCode so
you'll probably want to wait until XCode is more VO friendly (you'll
recall we were reminded of existing VO + XCode difficulties by
Travis) but you'll be happy for the AppleScript background once that
option becomes available to you (hopefully in the reasonably near
future).

Hi Jane,
First order of business is to get a look at Safari's scripting
dictionary so you can find out what the application will let you
do with AppleScript. In Script Editor:
1. Select "Open Dictionary" from the file menu.
2. Select "Safari" from the big list of scriptable applications.
Select/click the dialog's "Open" button. Scripting dictionary will
open.
Following is line to Apple's official developer documentation for
AppleScript. It includes a "Getting Started" section which is
worth working through.

I hope the info helps!

Well! At least I have AppleScript editor working. Now to figure
out how the heck to make that script. Hmm. I have the manual
after all now.
Any ideas where I need to start? <smile> I want to try and
figure this one out if I can without having to go to Travis--but
I will if I have to. :)

Hi Jane,
This sounds like a job for AppleScript.

Is there a way to have Safari open more than one page at
startup? For instace, say I want to look at my friends'
Livejournal pages and tab betwee them, can Safari be told to
open up all the URLs at startup, or will it not work?
