Back in olde-worlde 10.5.8, those same International System Preferences

fixed.

A new API for this was introduced in 10.5, and the former method was deprecated in 10.6. AS probably only changed with the deprecation, and perhaps the UI setting only affected the new API. Just a theory...

I'm a newbie and I'm having problems saving some data away to a new file. I've tried various things but the nearest I've got to doing this was the following:

tell application "TextEdit"
set newFile to "/Users/ericrobertson/Documents/New Notes.rtf"
activate
make new document with properties {path:newFile}
set text of document "New Notes.rtf" to "This is sample text"
save document "New Notes.rtf"
end tell

However although the document appears OK inTextEdit with the text included in it I get the message that I don't own the document "New Notes.rtf" and don't have permission to write to it. Do I have to set the file permissions in some way? I did try setting the name property as well as the path but this made no difference as it seemed to derive the name from just the path.

Incidentally i did find that if I just set the name property the path was set to /Users/ericrobertson/Library/Containers/com.apple.TextEdit/Data/Users/ericrobertson/Documents/New Notes.rtf.

I'm still on Lion (10.7.5) using TextEdit v1.7.1.

You may use :

set p2doc to path to documents folder as text
set newName to "New Note.rtf"
tell application "System Events"
make new file at end of folder p2doc with properties {name:newName}
end tell
set newFile to (p2doc & newName) as alias
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
make new document with properties {name:newName}
set text of document 1 to "This is sample text"
save document 1 in newFile
end tell

tested with TextEdit 1.8 (301) under 10.8.2
