Maybe, either through Applevents or AppleScript(via my external).
Also note that on Windows, using launch or shell to open a web page
opens another instance of the browser or opens the page in a new window.
To open a web page in an existing window, you can use DDE (via my
external):
put "www.metacard.com" into thewebsite
get ext_appsopen()
if "internet explorer" is in it then ext_ddeexecute
"IExplore","WWW_OpenURL",thewebsite
else if "netscape" is in it then ext_ddeexecute
"NSShell","WWW_OpenURL",thewebsite
else
put word 1 to -2 of
queryRegistry("hkey_local_machine\software\classes\http\shell\open\comman
d\") into tBrowserPath
launch thewebsite with tBrowserPath
end if
