I am like you in that regard.  It saves me lots of work doing my web 
pages.  In addition I have it do tons of other things.  For example, 
this email is formatted using scripting with Frontier.

I do notice that the Fetch glue scripts haven't been updated and 
don't work properly with Fetch 4 which allows for various forms of 
password encryption.  Does anyone have any info on updated Fetch 
scrips or other secure FTPing?

Although my laptop is still OS 9, I've started playing around with OS 
X and seeing how Frontier acts differently.

I've not run into that yet, but am mainly using Frontier in OS 9. 
I'll try it in OS X and see what it does to my file permissions.
