Okay, I will give that a try. A couple more questions. The way the

is written right now, what will happen if those files already exist in
that
location? Will it override them, or add to the existing files?
It will overwrite it, but if the existing file is longer than what you
write, the remmants of the original file will remain.
Trivial example. If the existing file contains "123456789" and you
write "ABCDE" to the file, the file will contain "ABCDE6789"
To ensure that you overwrite the entire existing file, set EOF to zero
before writing to it. To append data to the file get EOF and start
writing at the next byte.
How would I
set the script up so I can save them in folders with the date or
something
like that?
You want to create a new folder and name it with the current date?
This will create one in your home folder:
set today to the current date
set today to (month of today) & " " & (day of today) & ", " & (year of
today) as string
tell application "Finder"
make new folder at home with properties {name:today}
end tell
--> folder "May 29, 2003" of folder "michelle" of folder "Users" of
startup disk of application "Finder"
--Michelle
