But, Affrus.app chokes on a file specified only by string:

You never assigned anything within the script to the file.
Try this:
set new_file to (make new document with properties {name:filename_})
save result in new_file
No dice. If you look again at those two lines, you'll see that result
and new_file both refer to the same thing, a new Affrus document. The
second argument to 'save...' should be a 'file', according to Affrus's
dictionary. The only 'file'-type thing that seems to work is the furl
returned by 'choose file name', and I haven't found a way to construct
one outside of using choose file name. I think I'm going to have to
live with the extra dialog box.
Thanks for trying,
