Tracy, Ok, so here is what I have come up with. I don’t think that it’s what you want but its a start.
set filePath to ((path to home folder as text) & "Documents:") as text set fileName to "foo.aiff" beep delay 0.5 say "Hello World" using "Tessa" saving to filePath & fileName I suspect that you want the beep included in the aiff file and I am not sure exactly how to accomplish that. Maybe you could concatenate a beep.aiff file and foo.aiff together to get what you are trying to accomplish. If thats even the case from my interpretationn of your earlier emails.
