I almost never use TextEdit for anything (abundance of better text

note that running the following
tell application "TextEdit"
tell document 1
make new paragraph at end of paragraphs with data "Hello World"
end tell
end tell
doesn't make a new paragraph. Repeated runs just stack words into
the first paragraph. It appears that the only way to get a new
paragraph in a TextEdit document is to put in a slug of text with a
return in it. Is this thing really that lame?

Bill,
By your one script criteria these products, when I substitute their
application name for TextEdit, are probably also "lame":
Microsoft Word (version 2004)
TextWrangler (version 2.1.1)
BTW, did you actually want to know how to get your script working in
TextEdit? I asked my question, because you never actually asked to
assistance.
BTW2, Tex-Edit Plus (version 4.9.6) does work as you expect with your
script. I saw by another post that your solution to TextEdit not
working the way you expect is to have someone else do work ...
Good luck,
Michael Young
