You want to set up try/on error/end try blocks that catch errors and close
your files. It's a bit of work to set up, but it's really how the script
should work.
for instance:
set theFile to ""
try
set theFile to open for access "/path/to/file" with write permission
--access theFile
--do something that crashes
close theFile
set theFile to ""
on error
if theFile is not "" then
close theFile
end if
end try

Huh,
Here is my problem then. I'm developing a couple of scripts that error out
while a file is open for access. Once they are open for access I can't do
anything with them until I reboot. Is there a way around this?
