Thanks Rich for the syntax.
Open works fine, but have a problem saving Appleworks file as text format.
Test script
Tell application "AppleWorks 6"
Set newname to "Macintosh HD:temp:test"
Save document in newname as file type text (document is an open appleworks document.)
End tell
I don't get any error message, but when I process the file as text file, beginning of the file is junk, which means the file is applework format not a text format..
I recall the file type needing to be handed to AppleWorks as a string:
save document in newname as file type "TEXT"
However, if you are saving as text you hardly need to bother with
Appleworks. You may use standard additions to read and write text files.
