I think there's a bug at work here.

cd ~/Downloads; # pwd
echo "It's not Easy to Be..." | bbedit -c 'A Test File.txt'
echo "It's not Easy to Be..." | bbedit -s -c 'A Test File.worksheet'

The text file is in fact created on disk as a visible zero-byte file.

The worksheet is not created on disk until it is saved.

I'll send this in to support.
