Hi Louis,

<< The following script runs another script that reads some web pages off
the
internet every 50 minutes.  It asks me for permission to relax security,
which I give it.  While this script is waiting to do %readpages.r again, is
my compute insecure?  Can someone access my computer? >>

Unless I'm totally off base (and someone will correct me if I am, I'm sure),
security permissions are only granted to the script that requests them. If
your script was acting as some kind of file server, remote execution server,
or if it was a remote script that you didn't write and didn't trust, you
wouldn't just want to give it total access that someone else could take
advantage of. In this case you should be fine.
