I am running MacOS X [10.2.3] with System 9.2.2 [and mostly MacOS X Software] installed on a Hard Disk Drive [HDD]. A separate Hard Disk Drive has System 9.2.2 only and related non-MacOS Software.
The following experiences are based on running MacOS X.
First - when using 'Script Editor [SE] 1.9' or the beta 2 Version and I run an AppleScript [AS] Code which includes 'tell application "Internet Explorer" [IE] SE will attempt to launch the non MacOS X IE Application. I can force SE to use the MacOS X Version [by replacing 'Internet Explorer' with 'a', and then having to navigate to 'Internet Explorer' on the MacOS X based HDD ]; but, when SE is quitted and then launched again - it again launches the non MacOS X Version of IE. I have even changed the Creator and Type Fields of IE; and, rebuilt the 'Desktop' of the MacOS X based 'System 9.2.2'. No difference.
Anyone have a similar experience? Any solutions or suggestions?
I do not want to delete the non MacOS X Version of IE. I prefer using System 9.2.2, not as 'Classic', when I require top speed, productivity, and a friendly User Interface - with my dual 500 MHz G4 PowerPC PowerMac [1 GB RAM, and > 290 GB of HDD Storage].

Second - I use the IE 'OpenURL' Event [actually use 'OpenURL "
http://lists.apple.com/archives/x11-users/2003/Jan/10/";'] in my AS Code and when I come across a WebSite that presents a Log-In Window for User ID and Password - my Code results in an Execution Error - 'Internet Explorer got an error: Parameter error.'
At this Point I have to dismiss the Execution Error Alert Box, and then navigate about IE to access the Log-In Window. After entering the required Information and pressing the 'OK' Button, another Execution Error Alert Box will appear. After dismissing this Alert Box my AS Code will run and works correctly.The AS Code can then be executed over and over without any Errors.
What do I, and where can I, enter into my AS Code, to automatically fill in the two Fields and have my Code execute without any User intervention?
Any information and / or suggestions is gratefully appreciated.
