I can work around that.
The dictionary for Communicator shows that for window the properties include
URL string [r/o] -- Current URL
seems a bit hard to set it. Wd have thought that you will have to set the
properties of a new window
and then use GetURL
GetURL string -- The url
[to file specification] -- file the URL should be loaded
into
[inside reference] -- Window the URL should be loaded to
[from string] -- Referrer, to be sent with the HTTP request
As for not seeing windows move about (the horror!) you could always tell
the Finder to set visible of Navigator [or processes with its creator code]
to false and then put up a dialogue... something like..
display dialog "performing multi-variant desequencing to load window, code
(c) Rob Jorgensen" giving up after 6 buttons "Wow! I'd better not interrupt
that!"
