Well now, if Ruby needs to use Appleworks, then let it be. I know it's not
very fashionable at the moment, but it's been around (and scriptable) for a
long time. Perhaps it's part of an established workflow. Perhaps the
original poster already has a bunch of scripts that do stuff with the
contents of an AppleWorks document and doesn't need the heartache of trying
to re-write them for TextEdit.
Let's be helpful here, rather than judgemental.
