Howdy,
        Thank you to everyone who pointed me towards my solutions.
I still don't know exactly what is going on, but here are the solutions I figured out after receiving your advice:

openstack not functioning
I just put in a new card with nothing on it (as the first card in the stack). In it's handler I put in an "on idle" handler that does nothing but issue "send 'mouseUp'" statements and then moves the user to another card afterward (to a place where there is no "on idle" handler).

text files not being written
The big problem was that text files were actually being written. I just couldn't find them for a few minutes sometimes. Sometimes I'd have to wait a very long time for the files to pop up on the screen. My assumption was that the finder's ability to update every viewable portion of the hard drive can take a lot of time. IOW, the file was there, it was just that the finder hadn't moved in to update that part of the screen yet. So, my workaround was to have all files be saved to a folder on the desktop. Because the desktop is closer to the top of the hierarchical structure, it is probably updated with much greater frequency. I still don't know if this is a good decision. It works though, so I'm happy.

        Thanks again everybody.

Hi Jonathan,

Nice to see you here. Welcome to the Rev community.

I am pretty sure that something is wrong with the path. Note that Rev
paths don't use colons but slashes to delimit the components of the
path.

Do you see similar problems if you run the following script?

on foo
   ask file "Save as..."
   if it is not empty then
     put it into myFile
     open file myFile for write
     write "some string" to file myFile
     close file myFile
     put "You can find your file at:" && myFile
   end if
end foo

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
