Hi,
Would this script be just to "save as"? You could use a key command,
or make one for the menu if the app doesnt have a key command with Resedit.
If you want this text file to open up in the editor, (make it a BBEdit or
Simple Text file) you need to change its Creator and Type. Look in the
Finder's dictionary for a start.
