What am I doing wrong? I tried everything I could think of.
I think this is what you want:
tell application "Finder"
activate
set foo to item 1 of selection
set thePaste to the clipboard
repeat with bar from 1 to (count files in foo)
set fileLocation to (file bar of foo) as alias
tell application "Tex-Edit Plus"
open fileLocation
tell window 1
set insertion point before line 6 to return & thePaste
close window 1 saving no
end tell
end tell
end repeat
end tell
