This works...almost. What happens is I get a window that opens with a
blank tab (my home page is blank) and then fills all the following
tabs with items 2 through x on my list.
Any idea why the first URL is not populating the address bar?

PS - I changed the start marker in the in the repeat line from "2 to
count uList" to "1 to count uList", with no change, except an extra
empty tab.

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
