Snow and Appleworks

(1)
When activated manually, AppleWorks behaves flawlessly if Rosetta is installed.


When driven by script, I discovered an oddity.

set theFile to (path to desktop as text)&"xxx.cwk"
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
activate
open file theFile
end

which worked flawlessly with other OSes, fails with error #-1700

Happily there is a workaround:

set theFile to ((path to desktop as text)&"xxx.cwk") as alias
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
activate
open theFile
end

I assumes that it's not a normal behavior.

(2) With 'old' OSes, the preferences file contained a property describing the default path to save into.
Of course, the name was changed by 10.6.
More, this path was used when printing in PDF, now, even if the default save folder is thisPath, Print to PDF send the file to the desktop (at least it's what I get on my French system).
