I am struck with simple script.

I am opening Safari on Leapord using script as following:

tell application "Safari"

activate

--open some url

end tell

Its working fine. But the problem is that if Safari is already opened and showing some webpage, its over writing in same window/tab of Safari.

What I want is that if Safari is already running, I want to create a new tab and open url in that. If Safari is not running, I just want to launch it and open the URL in first window (not in a new tab).

Looking for some help here.

--Satyam.

Thanks & Regards,
