You're forgetting that we're living in a brave new world, Michelle. The dictionary is quite clear in requiring a text pathname, an that pathname must, of course be a Unix pathname.

Why "of course"?

I know that it was clear in requiring a text pathname, but when text didn't work, I tried other things, just in case the error was in the dictionary. It has been known to happen before.

set f to POSIX path of ("" & (path to desktop) & "junk.html")
tell app "Safari" to save front document in f as text

BTW, the file name has to end with ".html", or you get an error, which means that if you want to use the window's name, you have to do something like this:

tell application "Safari"
set foo to name of front window
set f to POSIX path of ("" & (path to desktop) & foo & ".html")
save front window in f
end tell

BTW, "save front window" appears to work just as well as "save front document"

I think that we've (you've) solved the OP's original problem now.
