how about IE's OpenURL

OpenURL works, but only if I put it within the tell application "Internet
Explorer" block, which prompts the user to locate the app, which is what I
need to avoid if possible. The way I know of to avoid this is to reference
IE by creator-type, but for some reason, _only_ on Mac OS 8.1, it refuses to
acknowledge IE 5.1 as an app of creator type "MSIE" - - - - give me a "no app
type MSIE error". Perhaps this is due to the way IE 5.1 installs - - - just
drag-and-drop onto the drive. Perhaps OS 8.1 needs the "MS First-Run" type
of initialization that occured with earlier IE's to "register" MSIE as a
creator type?
