I'm new on the list, so I apologize if this post doesn't match usual etiquette.
I've copied a script from Alvin Alexander and then modified it
a bit. It is intended to open some URLs for me on a repeating
basis. I have the script saved as an application bundle which
is called as an alarm by iCal. My difficulty is that the script
requires a keyboard command to enter the URL, which means that
I can't be touching the machine when the script runs, or I
likely interfere with its successful execution. I looked for a
solution online, but don't have enough experience to know what
resources I need. Can anyone help? The script is pasted below.
Thanks.

If you are using Safari 3, try this instead. Just substitute
your URLs (in uList) for the ones I used.

set uList to {"http://www.apple.com";,
"http://www.versiontracker.com";, "http://www.google.com";, "http://www.macupdate.com"}
tell application "Safari"
set win to (make new document at beginning) -- becomes be
window 1
set URL of win to contents of item 1 of uList
tell window 1
repeat with x from 2 to count uList
set curTab to (make new tab at end)
set URL of curTab to contents of item x of uList
end repeat
end tell
end tell
