Title: Re: Getting Script Editor to save a new document without c
With respect to the original request, this works:

on newScriptEditorDoc(scriptText)
      
tell application "Script Editor"
               
activate
               
save (make new document with properties {name:"Test 1", text:scriptText}) as ("script" as Unicode text) in ((path to desktop folder as text) & "Test 1")
       
end tell
end newScriptEditorDoc

set b to newScriptEditorDoc("tell app \"system preferences\" to activate")

What's going on here:

tell application "Script Editor"
 activate
 tell (make new document)
  save it in (choose file name)
  return its path
 end tell
end tell

The document gets created, and saved, but Script Editor still thinks
it's called "Untitled X", and its path is not getting set. (Nothing is
returned from this script). 'Command-S' brings up the 'Save' dialog box
prompting me to choose a name, which is really not what I want to
happen.

This seems to be a bug.

Do I really have to close the document and open it again to work
around it?

I've also had difficulty
1) setting the text of a script in script editor.
2) saving a script 'as' something (.scpt, .app, .txt or whatever).

Seems fairly poor if 'Script Editor' has such flaky Scripting support.
What's the deal here? Have I missed something?
