Hmmm. Yes. You're right. When I was experimenting this morning, the
".html" extension replaced the extension given didn't appear unless there
_was_ an extension to replace. Now it's appended to whatever's entered.
We-irrd....  :\

So the full handler should be:

  on TESaveAs(theKind, theTitle)
    tell application "TextEdit" to activate
    tell application "System Events" to tell application process
"TextEdit" to tell window 1
      keystroke "s" using {command down, shift down}
      repeat until (sheet 1 exists)
        delay 0.2
      end repeat
      tell sheet 1
        set value of text field 1 to theTitle
        tell group 1 to tell pop up button 1
          click
          repeat until (menu 1 exists)
            delay 0.2
          end repeat
          click menu item theKind of menu 1
          repeat while (menu 1 exists)
            delay 0.2
          end repeat
        end tell
        click button "Save"
      end tell
    end tell
  end TESaveAs

  TESaveAs("HTML", "Acme-Sales-2007-05")
