On a Mac, this creates a generic Simpletext file.

What does it create on Windows? And what Windows programs can open and read it?
Depends on the filename extension:

.txt = NotePad (very basic text editor)
.wri = WordPad (basic editor with some formatting)
.doc = Word (full blown editor)

You don't *need* to use an extension but this is required if you want somebody to be able to double-click the file and have it open.

Also note that you can use a little more efficient script to create your document:

put something into url ("file:" & someFile)
