What's the syntax to tell Safari to save a web page with a particular name, at a particular Finder location, in HTML format? Have tried several different syntaxes with no luck.

Try this

set d to "1/1"
set f to paragraph 2 of "
" & (path to "cusr")&"Safari_" & ((current date)-(get date d)) &".html"
set my text item delimiters to {"http://"}
tell app "Safari" to set s to source of front document
open for access file f with write permission
write "" & s to file f
close access file f
tell app "Finder"
activate
reveal file f
end


Complicated question:

My goal here is to try to formalize my web surfing; I surf for about 2 hours a day to keep my skills up, and I'd like to start archiving "might be useful" pages so I can full-text search them in the future. Ideally this would be with a one-click button; best workaround seems to be a script in Script Menu. The theory being that this would all go to a set folder, which could then be searched using the Finder content search engine.

Get an iKey shortcut to run the above script ?
