Bucky: If you say you think your 'tell' block will work as desired, I would suggest moving the 'end open location' line to the very end of the script. Additionally, the script needs to be saved as 'stay open' in order to work. But if you like, just put a line like 'tell me to quit' as the next to last before 'end open location'. I think you must also give it a unique creator type (_at least_, depending on what OS you're using) and enter it as a protocol or helper with your favorite browser. It's all very messy, but it works when you get there. Peter B. -----
