Ke, I should clarify that on the setup screen. Use the "transcript 
recipes" popup button for some examples. Here is the one Trevor just 
posted. The only tricky part is that a format() is run on the 
transcript command so %s is replaced with the full path to the 
temporary file. That %s is how you get it to open a file instead of 
open with an empty document.

	put "%s" into tTmpFile
	put "open -a " & quote & "/Applications/Document Editors/BBEdit 
7.0/BBEdit.app" & quote && quote & 	tTmpFile & quote into tCmd
	get shell(tCmd)
