Hi Rob, JJ and jay Young,
I read ll ur mails. Thanx a lot.
The problem was in giving the URL . It had to be in a particular format
as "[InternetShortcut]" & return & (ASCII character 10) & "URL=
http://www.hotmail.com";
Even if u hir return key after "[Internet Shortcut", the OS will not
understand that there is a line break and a form feed there. Hence
the words "return" and "(ASCII character 10)" had to be specified separately.
Wow! I am happy that the problem got solved. thanx once again,
Ann.

Hi there,
There's probably a cleverer way to do this, but here's how I'd go about it
(this works for me!)
tell application "Finder"
set thePathToTheDesktop to path to the desktop
set theFile to (thePathToTheDesktop & "theurl.url") as text
try
close access file theFile
end try
open for access file theFile with write permission
write "[InternetShortcut]
URL=
http://www.yahoo.com/
" to file theFile
close access file theFile
set the file type of file theFile to "LINK"
set the creator type of file theFile to "MSIE"
end tell
Good luck,
Rob
