A wise golden rule. Unfortunately, I was using the "tell" construction just
to demonstrate the general problem within the Script Editor.

In my actual scripts, the "choose file name" is not in a "tell" block but
is launched from the script menu of Microsoft Entourage.

In that case it _IS_ in an (implicit) tell block

In this situation,
adding the "default name" parameter causes the application to crash. For
example, when I launch a script with your example, Microsoft Entourage
immediately quits.

My tests within the Script Editor were to see if the problem was specific to
Microsoft Entourage. Given that the same problem occurs from the Finder, it
appears to be a more general issue.

I have tried it as a script menu item in Eudora (X), Tex-Edit Plus (X), BBEdit 6.5 (X) and Outlook Express 5.0.5 and had no problem with any of them.
