Hi Dave,

The following works fine here:

tell application "Script Editor"
	tell application "Finder"
		set myAppPrefix to ("Data:   AppleScript:Comic Book Scripts:" as alias)
	end tell

	set myWindow to make new document
	set myText to "on run" & return & "beep" & return & "end run" & return
	set the text of myWindow to myText
	compile myWindow

	set appTarget to (myAppPrefix as text) & "Test1.app"
	save myWindow as "application" in appTarget without run only and startup screen
end tell

WARNING: beware of the mail line wrap

do not forget to replace the prefix I use by yours (line that starts with "set myAppPrefix to "

something like:

"Boot:Users:Dave:"

In my boot hard disk, the "Users" folder name is "Utilisateurs"...


HTH,

Emile

Hi All,

I'm having problems scripting the Script Editor, Please see following
script:

tell application "Script Editor"
	set myWindow to make new document
	set myText to "on run" & return & "beep" & return & "end run" & return
	set the text of myWindow to myText
	compile myWindow

	save myWindow as "application" in "/Users/Dave/Test1.app" without
runonly and startup screen
end tell

This creates a new window, add the text correctly, compiles it ok,
but does not save the file as an application as expected. I don't get
an error message or any indication that the save didn't work, just no
Test1.app file at the end of it!
