You mean something like:
on open these_items
repeat with this_item in these_items
set the_name to text returned of (display dialog "Name This File:"
default answer "")
set the_read to read this_item to eof
set write_to to "Saved Items:" & the_name
try
open for access file write_to with write permission
write the_read to file write_to starting at 0
close access file write_to
on error
close access file write_to
end try
end repeat
end open
--
Or:
on open these_items
repeat with this_item in these_items
tell application "Finder"
set this_item to this_item as text
set the_name to the name of file this_item
set the_creator to the creator type of file this_item
set the_file to the file type of file this_item
end tell
set the_read to read file this_item to eof
set write_to to "Saved Items:" & the_name
try
open for access file write_to with write permission
write the_read to file write_to starting at 0
close access file write_to
on error
close access file write_to
end try
tell application "Finder"
set the creator type of file write_to to the_creator
set the file type of file write_to to the_file
end tell
end repeat
end open

Both fail on certain files... regardless of size... including those well
within AS's ability.
