That's it! I pulled down some sample safari scripts and after a bit of
trial-and-error the following works perfectly (all one line):
osascript -e 'tell application "safari"' -e ' set the URL of the front document to "file:///Library/WebServer/Documents/3.6man/xephem.html#SkyView"' -e 'end tell'
Thanks to all
