Hello Shane,

Well, this already has discussed on the list; see for example:

	http://lists.apple.com/archives/applescript-users/2008/Jan/msg00396.html

Assuming one wants to create a plist with an array of numbers, here's a sample incantation:

tell application "System Events"
	set PLItem to make new property list item with properties {value:{1, 2, 3}}
	set PLFile to make new property list file with properties {name:"~/Desktop/test.plist", contents:PLItem}
end tell

The ability for System Events to create property list files came with Leopard.

HTH,
Axel
