So I'm putting some error traps in an IE script to deal with the

That one being IE until about a two days ago! If in Prefernces/Browser Display you clicked the 'none' button, it filled in 'about:blank', so far as I recall.
If you click 'none' in 5.2.2, you get a real blank, but my app gives no garbage


tell app "Internet Explorer"
JJJJJJ set n to item 1 of (ListWindows)
JJJJJJ GetWindowInfo n
end
--> {"about:blank?untitled=yes", "Untitled"}


If I enter 'about:blank' manually in the prefs, then I get


tell app "Internet Explorer"
JJJJJJ set n to item 1 of (ListWindows)
JJJJJJ GetWindowInfo n
end
--> {"about:blank", "about:blank"}


The question is, what the heck is that stream of garbage?

Something peculiar to your set-up so far as I can tell. Which version sre you using? Although I use Omniweb most of the time, I actually like IE and always have. Everything else I've looked at, except Omniweb, is useless.
