[Cutter (JavaScript)]

This may be possible with Microsoft's JScript (see the scripting area of 
the MSDN site) within IE, but it is not possible with javascript for a 
number of reasons. The most important reason is security, JS will give 
you access to the browser's DOM, but it will not give you access to 
anything outside of the browser (this is sometimes called sandbox security).
