This is a way to save a window full of tabs. The original UI handler was written by StefanK aka. Stefan Klieme of Macscripter fame. It considers webarchives file endings, when Safari is in doubt, you can adjust whether you want to overwrite or ignore already written files. It don't save duplicate tabs, and you may set a property to decide whether it shold close the tab when it is saved.
Please look at MacScripter, a direct link is in the script, for any updates.
You can overcourse use wget, but I settled for UI Scripting, as wget has download stuff that is already in your browser, and is a kluge to program as well.
