Now, I happen to think 'open location''s behavior is wonderful,
I should mention that the "wonderful behavior" I'm referring to is
that inside a browser tell block it directs the OpenURL event to
that browser instead of the system default.
Actually that's GetURL, not OpenURL (which is a completely different aevt).
<<event GURLGURL>>, to be exact. Type it (with real guillemets) and
compile -- you'll see it transform into 'open location'.
Does Safari support GURL? (I'd check, but I'm shutting down apps in
preparation for a reboot.)

the specific problem noted...an error?)

But of course, we would have to classify that as a Panther Finder
bug, and not infer anything about how AS is supposed to work.
