Hmm. What you posted won't compile as it is (after de-mangling for line
wraps).
just take the end tell, move a line and take away the OSAX if you do
not have it.

Don't know what happened there, but you code appears to be incomplete:
It finishes with an "end tell" but there is no 'tell' to end. I got it
to compile with a tell Finder at the top, but I didn't see any Finder
commands in a quick look over it. Also compiles after removing the 'end
tell'.
The file is not opened for access anywhere in what you posted and opening
for access with write permission is required in this case.
I am replying because of this line. No, it does not! His script
worked perfectly running from SE or from
OSA Menu, which I assume would be similar to running from iDo.
His script works fine. I believe the file is opened and it does not
get written to. If you make that file read only ("ttro"), then it
will accept any new input even if the file is opened in the "Finder".
Try it
If you'd like to post either a cut down functional example (preferable),
or the whole thing, I'll try to have a look at it for you. Others will
hopefully do the same.
Cheers,

Actually there was no known bugs in his script, 8-)
