One reason might be that you can set a preference to automatically reload a document from disk if a UNIX script changes it. That even works if it's not really a script, just a few lines executed from a worksheet. For whole files that's easier than a filter.

I just learned that the automatic reload preference doesn't work with an AppleScript. One could incorporate the Applescript into an osascript command within a shell script and fix that up. -- Applescript syntax is like English spelling: Roughly, though not thoroughly, thought through. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Have a feature request?
