AppleScript to make a text file?

Is there a way I can export a string within a script into a new text file (which the script would create)? Would I need to script a text editor to do this, or can I do it with AS or an osax? Thanks!

There is a set of commands in the Standard Additions scripting addition that handles creation and use of text files.

open for access
get eof
set eof
read
write
