I suppose the Tex-Edit Plus code could be better too:
### Use cut & paste to keep color formatting
tell application "System Events"
tell process "AppleScript Editor"
set frontmost to true
set WindowName to name of window 1
keystroke "ac" using {command down}
end tell
end tell
tell application "Tex-Edit Plus"
activate
tell (make new document with properties {name:WindowName})
paste
set size of its text to 8
select insertion point before character 1
end tell
end tell
