Yeah, that was what I thought.  But - and I realize we're down to
aesthetics at this point - why duplicate the "tell front document"
block?

tell application "Safari"
      activate
      try
          set _exists to document 1
      on error
           make new document
      end
      tell front document to set URL to "http://www.macscripter.net/";
end

Why have the try block?

tell application "Safari"
activate
if not (document 1 exists) then tell (make new document) to set URL to "http://www.macscripter.net/";
end tell


Or if you want to keep whatever is in an existing document, and not replace it with the new URL:

tell application "Safari"
	activate
	tell (make new document) to set URL to "http://www.macscripter.net/";
end tell
