closing a modified text edit document

I have a script that appends the text of a text edit document. This achieves the desired result so far.
script example:


tell application "TextEdit"
	set paraCount to count of paragraphs of document 1
	set theCB to (the clipboard)
	set cbClass to class of (the clipboard)
	
	if cbClass is Unicode text then
		try
			tell document 1
				set paragraph (paraCount) to (paragraph (paraCount) & return & return & theCB)
			end tell
		end try
	end if
	
	close document 1
end tell

However, the close document will produce a save dialog for the modified file. I do not want to save the document changes.

Anyone know how to bypass this dialog in AS?

So now that this part works, here’s another one…

tell application “TextEdit”
set paraCount to count of paragraphs of document 1
set theCB to (the clipboard)
set cbClass to class of (the clipboard)

if cbClass is Unicode text then
	try
		tell document 1
			set paragraph (paraCount) to (paragraph (paraCount) & return & return & theCB)
		end tell
	end try
end if

close document 1 without saving

end tell

This places the contents of the clipboard into the current TextEdit document but only if it is text. I would also like to be able to do other forms of clipboard data. I had tried adding the returns to the end of the document and the using system events to paste in the clipboard but this didn’t work

Any ideas?

Is your document 1 an rtf file? If it’s .txt it won’t accept anything but text.
