Michael,
the first command doesn't compile, here. I guess that's because
I don't have ScriptMasterXT.
The second command works fine, with 'fileName' set to
(path to startup disk as string) & "123456789012345678901234567890"
The resulting file is named "123456789012345678901234567890x"
and this name counts 31 characters.
Regards,
Hans
