I could have a script which will check for open windows by applications.
Your script for TextEdit and AppleWorks worked. Thanks.

Hope someone will be able to help with Illustrator.

It would not be an easy task as each program has its own syntax to
close a document without saving it.

For AppleWorks for instance, it is

tell application "AppleWorks 6"
	set ld to every document
	repeat with d in ld
		close d without saving
	end repeat
end tell

For TextEdit, it would be:

tell application "TextEdit"
	set ld to every document
	repeat with i from (count of ld) to 1 by -1
		close (item i of ld) saving no
	end repeat
end tell

I don't know the Illustrator's dictionary.
