tell application "Safari"
activate
--{xStart, yStart, xEnd, yEnd}
--open CNN news in upper left
set CNN to make new document
set CNNWindow to window 1
set bounds of CNNWindow to {10, 25, 600, 600}
set URL of CNN to "http://www.cnn.com/"
--open Google news in upper right
set Google to make new document
set GoogleWindow to window 1
set bounds of GoogleWindow to {610, 25, 1210, 600}
set URL of Google to "http://news.google.com/"
--open Memeorandum in lower left
set Memeorandum to make new document
set MemeorandumWindow to window 1
set bounds of MemeorandumWindow to {10, 625, 600, 1200}
set URL of Memeorandum to "http://www.memeorandum.com/"
--open blog in lower right
set Blog to make new document
set BlogWindow to window 1
set bounds of BlogWindow to {610, 625, 1210, 1200}

end tell
This will open four windows arranged in a four-part square. You can edit the “bounds” of each window as you see fit.
