electronic papyrus:

>tell application "GraphicConverter"

>        save window 1
>        close window 1
>end tell

At least in the current GC, you need to ensure that the comment is in 
plain text (as in literals), not styled (as you might get in a 
variable). My workaround was to write the following subroutine and 
use it on all my imported strings:

on RemoveStyles(t)
    local t, rec
    try
       set rec to t as record
       set t to «class ktxt» of rec
    end try
    t
end RemoveStyles

I sent email to the developer asking for transparent coercion, so 
maybe someday this workaround won't be needed.

Disadvantage: it's not OS X native (I think Bill is using OS X).
