The following works for me with tcsh in 10.3.9: >alias safari osascript -e \'tell application \"safari\" to open location \"\!\$\" \' With that, >safari http://apple.com opens apple.com in safari. Of course, it's only useful if you put the alias command in your ~.tcshrc file (or ~.cshrc, if you don't have a ~.tcshrc)! - Aaron
