Incidentally, there used to be an app called Flypaper,
written by Eric Iverson. It ran specified AppleScript
scripts or script apps when you click on special links on a
web page in Netscape. Like:
<A HREF="flyp:FileName">Come on down!</A>
The scripts would run only if they resided in the Flypaper
folder on your local drive, thereby providing some level
security :-) You could conceivably execute any type of
AppleScript embedded as such.
The URL for Flypaper I used to have from nearly two years
ago is no longer valid.
