[G4] Wiretap scripting

[John Erdman]

Alex -

	Thanks.

	 All I can say is DOH!   In the course of learning about Wiretap 
scripting hooks as you suggested (there are plenty BTW),   I 
(re)discovered a Scripts folder in the Wiretap main folder..... and 
what to my surprise. I found exactly what I needed already programmed 
for me.  DOH!   The only thing is, it'd be nice to have a cleaner front 
end for entering the dates and times of starting and stopping.

This further leads me to conclude that what Lavode wanted is entirely 
possible as I know that Safari is scriptable regarding time and URL. 
Combining these two functions would give Lavode the script he wanted.  
Perhaps someone has already done this.
