Well, to be fair, a reference to an existing file also works, but I'm
trying to create _new_ files, not save existing ones.
With a nudge from the 'How write to a file in an invisible folder?"
[sic], I got this to work:
set file_path_ to (POSIX path of dir_) & filename_
do shell script "touch " & file_path_
set file_ to POSIX file file_path_
tell application "Affrus"
set doc1_ to make new document with properties {name:filename_}
set text selection of doc1_ to header_
select last insertion point of doc1_
save doc1_ in file_
end tell
Kludgy? Indeed. But it works.
