If I get time, I'll try to d/l the Mozilla version and see what it looks
like.

Must be a problem with Mozilla that doesn't happen with Firefox? If you get
time install Firefox and see if the scripts work there. If not, I would
wonder a couple of things; are we on the same OS (10.3.5 here) and are we
using the same Script Menu bundle (Script Menu.menu v1.1).

Well, if we could find a JS -> system call of some kind, like exists in the
Safari JS logger, or in Adobe apps, we could easily pass the info out. I can
think of an even uglier hack that can pass the info from a newly created
email or browser document, and then that email can be disposed of, but I
don't know if you care what the user experience of such a hack would be
like. We could also pass the data to a Java app running in another window;
that would be the cleanest, though it would be slow to initialize for the
first iteration.
I think the cleanest way, like it or not, is to use the <<curl>> property
and pass that off to Safari for additional processing.
Hmmm... Another thought just occurred to me; we may be able to play with
file handling by extensions in order to force JS to write the data to a file
somewhere.
It's an interesting challenge; I just wish I knew how far along and how far
away real AS support is in the Mozilla family. From what I can see on the
forums and the bug DB, they appear to be interested in working out support
for AS, or at least better hooks to use JS inside AS. I'd rather not waste a
ton of effort if support is coming soon.
