OK, I have a scripting project, where I manage to focus a window in Internet Explorer. What I need to do here, is to retrieve the information held in the Address Bar.

Of course, I could have send some keystrokes from the script, and worked my way around copying the info to the clipboard, then retrieved it from there, somehow. Yet, I was wondering, if there is any instructions in WE, that will let me - rather easily - get hold of the info in the adressbar?

Thanks alot!

If there is no such instruction as per date, could it be implemented in later versions? Or, does anyone have a set of scripting lines, that perform the task? First talking about it, would the same - or a similar instruction - give access to the address bar in Windows Explorer, and in Firefox?

Thanks for all input on the matter!
