Now I'm
trying to go the other way, with a command that accepts data and a

the new file, write the data in the appropriate format, and close the
file. I would expect this file name to come from the user selecting a
file in the standard Mac directory dialog.

This thread really belongs on the applescript-implementors list, but anyway...

When extracting the 'file reference' parameter from the incoming Apple event, specify typeFileURL as the desired type in your AEGetParamDesc call. (Don't use typeFSS as it's obsolete.) The resulting AEDesc's data handle will contain a 'file:' URL string which you can (e.g.) convert to a CFURL via CFURLCreateWithBytes.
