I've been tinkering as well with a few tests and it appears that a required
condition for a successful "store script" is that the target file has a resource
fork.
I've tried it with Tex-Edit and SimpleText text files with positive results.
However, Tex-Edit seems to remove the script resource if it makes changes to the
file (SimpleText left the script resource alone).
If you're creating a new file using "open for access", it won't have a resource
fork. Perhaps Akua could add one for you?
This is on MacOS 9.1
