This gets:

OmniGraffle got an error;
NSCannotCreateScriptCommandError

This:

tell application "OmniGraffle"
make at front of documents new document
end tell

Changes to:

tell application "OmniGraffle"
make at before every document new document
end tell

In the Event Log and doesn't get an error but nothing happens, meaning no
new document is created.

When I was testing it, I went through all the permutations that I could
think of.

This:

tell application "OmniGraffle"
set t to make at front of windows new window
return t
end tell

Returns a window id, but doesn't create a window.

The dictionary says:

make
at anything -- The location at which to insert the object.
new integer -- The class of the new object.
[with data anything] -- The initial data for the object.
[with properties record] -- The initial values for properties of
the object.
Result: reference -- the reply for the command

It's a puzzler. I suppose I could as somebody at The Omni Group. Just
haven't had time.
