So, my question is, is there a way to initialize, from Applescript, a plist file that is an array of arrays with no key?
Yes (by definition, an array has no key). You don't need anything more than System Events, and rather odd use of the name property:
set theList to {{"a", "b", "c"}, {"d", "e", "f"}} set thePath to POSIX path of ((path to desktop as text) & "Test.plist") tell application "System Events" set theArray to make new property list item with properties {kind:list, value:theList} set theFile to (make new property list file with properties {contents:theArray, name:thePath}) end tell
-->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <plist version="1.0"> <array> <string>a</string> <string>b</string> <string>c</string> </array> <string>d</string> <string>e</string> <string>f</string> </array> </array> </plist>
