This seems to work on my OS X laptop:

on openTempFile pText
  put the tempName into tFile
  put pText into URL ("file:" & tFile)
launch tFile with "/Applications/TextEdit.app" -- path to notepad, in your case.
  wait 1 second
  delete file tFile
end openTempFile

Best,

Mark

I can put data into a text file and open it via shell, but this method tends to leave a flotsam of files on disk, unless I recycle the file name and overwrite (which I don't want to do).

Is it possible to put data into a text file that is *not* saved to disk and has no name? i.e. as if Note Pad were launched and text were pasted into the document?

Thanks in advance

Mark
