G'day Tom

I too am running 10.8.2.

You've obviously got a permissions problem with the folder 'Work'.

Select that folder, and do a command-i on it (get info), and reset the permissions

Regards

Santa

Thanks Brian for your prompt rely but I am sorry to say but right out of the
box your suggestion failed.
I am still unable to save the text due to permission problems.
I am running 10.8.2. I understand that with 10.7 there were big changes to
the dialog box of textedit and the ability to save temp changes to a
permanent file. I have a whole system of scripts that rely heavy on screen
scraping and saving the info in plain text files. Which are later filtered
to various data bases. I need a Solid solution for what appears to be a
Mountainous problem (yes the pun is intended)!!


Your suggestion:

set ptd to path to desktop
set getpage to "This is a test"


tell application "TextEdit"

  set filelst to {"FedMangrealtxt"}
  --{"AmCentPosBal", "AmCentrealtxt"}


  repeat with File_item in filelst
      activate
      set Tithdr to File_item
      make new document at the front
      set the text of the front document to getpage as text
      save the front document in (ptd & "Work:" & Tithdr as text)
      close the front document saving no
  end repeat
  --delay 3


  open (ptd & "Work:" & Tithdr & ".rtf" as text)
end tell
