Scripting TextEdit and saving a file without user intervention

I've got a situation where I want to construct an RTF document in TextEdit and save it all without user intervention. In the TextEdit dictionary there's a save command that takes "in" (to specify the destination) and "as" (to specify the type to save as) clauses. These clauses seem to be ignored as the Save dialog pops up anyway. What's the proper way to programmatically save a file when applescripting TextEdit? Thanks in advance for your help.
