1. You can't tell window 1 to save window 1. (And there's no particular
reason I can see to tell window 1 to set thePath either, although that
shouldn't cause an error.)

2. You actually can save the window just like saving the document. And
saving to a string path works, if it's really a valid location. The
dictionary says it should be a <<class furl>>, but AppleScript will coerce
a string path to this class without even specifying 'as class <<furl>>'.

But your path is an existing folder's path ending "Documents:"- you need to
give it the path of FILE you want to create inside that folder. not the
folder (a common mistake).

set thePath to "IBM 01:Users:Parents:Documents:SD Downloads:New Doc"
tell application "Tex-Edit Plus"
save window 1 in thePath
end tell
