Andrew, thank you for your reply. I tried your code without luck. I'm
calling this AppleScript from a compiled Application and am not getting any
error feedback. A slightly different script does work for a Classic run (it
launches SimpleText instead of TextEdit) but this script only launches
TextEdit with an Untitled document in an OSX run. Is there any way I can
display error codes or other info from the script so I can glean what this
problem is? Are there any other issues that are specific to OSX and
AppleScript that I should be aware of?

Well there's another way you could do it:

tell app "Finder" to open file filePath using application file id "text"


You did verify that 'filePath' contains the correct path to the file, yes?


-boo
