Erik Ness asked:

And Steve Goodman lent a hand thusly:

To which Scott Earleywine queried:

This would be useful as part of a larger script. As an example, I wrote a
script which would get the URL from the frontmost browser window and point a
browser on another Mac to it (high tech "Honey, look at this!").

There's other stuff in there and the code is aging. Let me know if it still
works with MacOS 9.x.
