Two calls to URL Access Scripting ?
Two calls to URL Access Scripting ?

I'm trying to convert some old code to use URL Access Scripting rather than Netscape or iCab which were once required for https. It now - in system 9.2 - appears that URL Access supports https. URL Access also returns a result so that I don't have to do funny things to wait for download completion. Those are good things.
My problem is that the Event Log shows duplicate calls to URL Access Scripting and I can't tell if it's really happening or if it's a bug in the logging process. It is persistent. I'm showing the whole mess below. Please excuse the length of the post and scroll down to ** Confusing duplicate lines ** below. Note that the duplicate download occurs only on the first of three subroutine calls.

Applescript syntax is like English spelling:
Roughly, but not thoroughly, thought through.
