	Steve got me thinking about this.  There used to be an app that would place the download URL in the Get Info box of each file you downloaded with Safari, but it no longer works.

	Could you do the same thing with AppleScript?  It's pretty handy to know where a file came from months afterwards when you can't remember why you downloaded it.

Thanks,
