Hey there.
You are certainly right about it not being ver forgving. You
relaly have to get it written down just so, or it won't work. It's
the getting it down part that's tripping me up. I'll get it though.

*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.
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppleScript/index.html
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?
