I need to fill out a web page programmatically for a point of sale system to submit a charge card payment form. I'm not sure I can program it in Java, and it is POST method, so I cannot simply construct and send a fabricated URL.

so I'd like the "gui scripter" to exactly emulate a user filling out a web page and clicking "submit"
As far as I have understood, this way of doing is not really conformant to AppleScript's philosophy.
Maybe you would want to read about the general features of AppleScript at:
<
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Carbon/interapplicationcomm/AppleScript/AppleScriptLangGuide/index.html>
and in the first clickable chapters under "Overview of AppleScript".
What you want to do is possible but you would rather build directly and send the POST request by script, not through the GUI (I think).
