OK Steve,
That was my mistake which I was trying to get done but could not.
Now the created text file has an extension "WXYZ" and also has the icon for 
"WXYZ"
All is now well.
Thanks-A-Lot.
Lennox

That file has no extension. The extension is part of the file name.

It should be created and opened as
  myfile = DocumentsFolder.child("myfile.wxyz")

Then, if extension .wxyz is associated with myApp, you should simply be
able to use
  myfile.Launch

Generally, you don't.  Those are reserved (at least on MacOS) for
system-wide functionality, such as Expose and Dashboard.  F1-F4 in
well-behaved apps will do Undo/Cut/Copy/Paste, though many newer Apple
apps (written by folks from NeXT I would imagine) fail to adhere to
this venerable standard.

Anyway, as a result, there is no guarantee that these keys will
generate a consistent KeyCode in, say, the KeyDown event.

Now if you're making a full-screen game that takes over the whole UI of
the computer, then that's a different story.  Most or all of those keys
can be reliably detected with Keyboard.AsyncKeyDown, and in such an
environment the user wouldn't expect standard behavior for them anyway.

Best,
- Joe
