I am a little confused about whether it is still possible to use syntax
such as this to write data to a file:

write "this text" to file "Macintosh
HD:Users:johnfowler:Desktop:mytextfile.txt" starting at 0 for 9

Is there a scripting addition compatible with Panther that responds to
this? Short of using an app such as bbedit to create and save a
document, is there a way within AppleScript to create a file and fill
it with text data?

Thanks.

John Fowler
