You don't need to make such a deal of this. Try this script with your
pages in it.
set urlList to {"http://www.whitepages.com.au/wp/index.jsp";, "http://www.littlegolem.net/
", }
set numURLs to (count urlList)
repeat with i in urlList
tell application "Safari"
open location i
end tell
end repeat

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.
