So, neither the System Preferences application nor the Internet
preference
pane itself appears to be scriptable. There's a preference file named
"com.apple.internetconfig.plist" which can be opened with
PropertyListEditor, but a) PLE isn't scriptable either, and 2) the
current
value for Helper:http is "<4f574542 074f6d6e 69576562 00000000 00000000

00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 >", which isn't very helpful. What
is
that, a disk sector address? Anyway, it doesn't look like editing the
plist
file is going to get me very far....
Not so quick ;-) The above is HEX and translates to "OWEB OmniWeb" in
ASCII. So if you want to replace that, you could write "4348494D
074E6176 69676174 6F720000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
00000000", which would be "CHIM Navigator".
Let us know how that goes, -Reinhold
