Problem Compiling

Hello everyone,


I copied the following routine from apple site.  It will compile in Script
Editor, but not Smile and it returns an error when I try to use it inside
FileMaker 7.

on write_to_file(this_data, target_file, append_data)
    try
        set the target_file to the target_file as text
        set the open_target_file to open for access file target_file with
write permission
        if append_data is false then set eof of the open_target_file to 0
      **  write this_data to the open_target_file starting at eof
        close access the open_target_file
        return true
    on error
        try
            close access file target_file
        end try
        return false
    end try
end write_to_file

** this line causes the following error "Expected end of line, etc. but
found identifier."

What am I missing?

todd
