If you want to open "all" text files with AppleWorks. then select a text file and then under the Finder Edit menu select "Get Info" then "Open with" and select "AppleWorks 6" then click the change all. now all text files (.txt) will open in AppleWorks and have the AppleWorks icon.
Now a text file from TextEdit will open in Appleworks.
Note default saved TextEdit files are RTF (.rtf) or you can choose Word format but not TEXT.
In order to save a TextEdit file as .txt you have to select "Make Plain Text" from the "Format" menu in TextEdit then save.
The AppleWorks dictionary for save is:
save: Save a document
save document -- the document to save
[in alias] -- the file in which to save the document
[as file type type class] -- the type of file in which to save the document (e.g., PICT, TEXT, MW2D)
[using translator international text] -- the name of the translator to use to save the document
[template boolean] -- save the document as template?
the TextEdit dictionary for save is:
save: Save an object.
save [reference] -- the object for the command
[as Unicode text] -- The file type in which to save the data.
[in alias] -- The file in which to save the object.
This script might help:
set fileToConvert to choose file
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
open fileToConvert
save document 1 as file type "TEXT" --here you get prompted for a name and you can select place to save the document
close document 1 saving no
quit
end tell
Let me know if this works or you need more help. __Jeremy

Unfortunately I don't have the Appleworks dictionary in my system, can anyone give me the syntax for the following.
1. Open a text file (from TextEdit) in Appleworks.
2. Save Appleworks document as text file.
