Why are you grabbing the path to the file and then saving the file? Do you
need the path for some other reason? Because, if the file exists true (not
an untitled, unsaved, document), then the path exists true, so you just have
to save the document.
tell document 1
save
-- do other stuff
end tell
I'm not sure why you are getting the wierd behaviour. For the record, the
script worked fine for me ( OS 8.5.1, QXP 4.11, 4.11 Fix It, AS 1.3.4 )
Hope you find your answer.
