Snow Leopard Finder understands 'write ...', but Leopard Finder does not.
But, which system version has the problem? (Where's the bug?)

Hey Luther,

Hmm. 'write' is from the StandardAdditions.osax.

I don't have Leopard available to test at the moment, but this works fine on 10.6.6:

set f to "" & (path to desktop) & "Test File.txt"

tell application "Finder"

try

set fileNum to open for access f with write permission

write "Some Text" to fileNum starting at eof

write return & "Some More Text" & return to fileNum

close access fileNum

on error errMsg number errNum

try

close access fileNum

end try

beep

display dialog "Error: " & errMsg & return & "Error Number: " & errNum

end try

end tell
