Hi Simon,
I wouldn't know how to do this directly, but you can download a file and open it in Safari, I don't know if this helps:
set myTarget to (POSIX file (POSIX path of (path to temporary items) & "test.html"))
tell application "URL Access Scripting"
set myFile to download "http://www.mathguide.de/cgi-bin/ssgfi/suche.pl"; to myTarget form data "db=math&tag=FIN&words=lincoln&dsp=title"
end tell
tell application "Safari" to open myFile
Best
Thomas
