Mac OS X and Simple Applescripting of Text Editors

Please forgive me if I'm missing something basic. I certainly feel like I am. Whatever happened to:

set selection to paragraph 1 of document "some doc"

or

set selection to "some text" & return

or

set style of selection to bold

in Applescripting text editors?

I have TextEdit and BBEdit on my OS X machine and am struggling with finding a simple, clear way to append text to the end of a document. Applying a style would be a nice bonus.

Can anyone recommend an Applescriptable OS X compatible text editor which uses simple command like this. Or a simple method to append text and change styles in TextEdit?

Thanks,

Gary
