Steve,
Are you using `curl` to retrieve the information? It is possible to
have curl do it without bringing up the terminal window. For example,
to pull up the exchange rate between Argentine Peso and US Dollar from
Yahoo Finance, I have it perform this command
set ARSUSD to last word of (do shell script "curl
http://quote.yahoo.com/d\\?f=sl1\\&s=ARSUSD=X")
Hope that helps. do a `man curl` to see what all it can do ... its an
extremely powerful tool.
