I wrote a script to do a Google query to get the lyrics of whatever track iTunes is playing. It assembles the URL and then uses "open location" to send it. I found that

open location theURL

doesn't do anything.  But if I say

tell application "Safari" to open location theURL

it works perfectly. I'm wondering why that is. My understanding was that the osax could be used anywhere and would open the default application for the protocol of the URL.

Marc. You are aware that "open location theURL" *has* to be handled by some application. Better Safari than iTunes.
