You need to open the file with write permission. You should also close
it after you are done. It is also a good practice to put all this in a
try block so that you can make sure that no matter what happens the
file is closed:
-------------
set theFile to (path to desktop as text) & "mytextfile.txt"
try
set openedFile to open for access theFile with write permission
write "this text" to openedFile
close access openedFile
on error
if openedFile is not "" then
close access openedFile
end if
end try
-------------

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.
