I actually thought of that first - even though I'm a Win32 dev, I am a
constant Mac user since 1994. But I'm not an AppleScript expert and I
kept getting errors saying it didn't understand the message. I do know
the app I'm working with is Cocoa based so I would assume its
NSDocument based. Lots of assumptions.

events or messages. So what I want to do under OS X is write my own
app that periodically will force this app to save its document by
calling the same handler as what the Save menu command would call.
Again, I do realize that "bad things may happen", but for this app
we are using its worth trying for me.
Typically you'd do this by issuing an AppleScript command, which you
can do with the NSAppleScript class. Something like "tell
application MyApp to save document in front of documents" ought to
work if the hypothetical MyApp is an NSDocument-based application.
