Entity JJ spoke thus:

> Do you mean a "URL clipping"?
Yes, I suppose that is what I mean: creator"drag", type "ilht".
These are the URL clippings dragged from the address window of any browser.

> Both Netscape 6 & Communicator support drag & drop and are scriptable.
I am dropping the clipping on the NN 6.1 icon and it does not respond. Does
it for you?

However I have this script:

on open dropped
tell application "Finder"
open file "Apple:Applications:Netscape Folder:Netscape 6"
tell application "Netscape 6"
GetURL dropped
end tell
end tell
end open

Problem being that it opens the clipping as
"Apple:Desktop Folder:www.gnarlodious.com/"
instead of
"http://www.gnarlodious.com/";
There is this line:

GetURL [from string] -- Referrer, to be sent with the HTTP request

but this returns an error possibly because the clipping needs to be parsed
URL from title:
http://www.gnarlodious.com/
Chronology, Cosmology & Cognition

Any ideas?
