Please help with this applescript code

Thanks Michelle

I recently read that there are apparently two forms of Mac text files -
which also extends to Appleworks. The text file (for wordprocessing)
and the ASCII text (for spreadsheets) My objective is for the macro to
save an Applescript spreadsheet as ASCII text. Does your amendment work
for both types of text files or just the wordprocessing type?

Thanks
