Login AppleScript won't write - Solution

Thanks for all the responses to my problem with the script that wouldn't
write to a file. I thought I'd share the solution(s) that worked.

Using the subroutine that opened the file for access before writing to the
file worked great.

The solution I stumbled upon and am currently using doesn't seem to make
sense but it works. I realized that I had complied my completed script on a
machine running 9.0.4 and AppleScript 1.4.3. I was *running* the script on
machines that have 8.6 and AppleScript 1.3.7. When I opened the same script
on the 1.3.7 machines, added a return to the end of the script and
recompiled it in Script Editor it worked like a charm. I didn't change any
code, just recompiled it. It's been running out of iDo for several hours
and writing without a hitch.

Is there a difference between saving a script on a machine with 1.3.7 as
opposed to 1.4.3? Especially since the code never changed? Has anyone ever
run into this problem before?

Thanks again for all the great suggestions and help!
