I wish that were an option, however this ISP insists upon using 5.0. I'm having particular problem right now trying to figure out how to sublaunch the "MS Internet First Run" application after copying over the "Internet 5" folder. Then, what's the chance that Applescript has the ability to launch the browser to an URL, with every Applescript version since Mac OS 8.1. I'm thinking I may be asking for the impossible here.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

If I'm not mistaken, the latest version of IE (OS 9 anyway) doesn't
