thanx to all that replied
what i want to do with AS is to
make it self-compose a song
or convert a normal document into a PlainTalk's singing format
that SimpleText can sing
learning from what people have told me
and to test this:

AppleScript will happily write numbers to a file

without converting them to text

however it seems to have a problem

with numbers formatted with the exponental notation,

I consider this a bug.
re-wrote a thing like this:
set f to "sarigama:@:as:is" as file specification
set a to 100
set b to "[[pmod "
set c to "]]"
open for access f with write permission
try
write b to f
write a to f
write c & return to f
write "am i ready to sing ?" to f
on error errMes
close access f
error errMes
end try
close access f
and the result of it became like this:
[[pmod
am i ready to sing ?
...mmm.."d" is not what i have expected to be there..
...well yes maybe this:

is what i fell into from the very beginning
but well maybe i don't care
will use "as text" to safely result into
the singing script
thanks
and will read more deeply what you have sent to me
