Pre-flighting save

Hi All,

I need to intercept the document saving process (both via File/Save and
window close). 

My application is an AppleScript IDE where the document may contain syntax
errors that prevent it from being saved.  When this happens, I need to show
the error and offer to save the document in a textual format which allows
the errors to remain uncorrected.

I have a few other situations where I need to pre-flight saves.  For
instance, if the user attempts to save over a running AppleScript applet, I
want to (a) warn the user, and (b) offer to the Quit the applet and continue
the save.

I've been looking at the
canCloseDocumentWithDelegate:shouldCloseSelector:contextInfo: method, but
its not clear to me how to do what I want to do.  Does anyone have any
suggestions or pointers to examples illustrating how to do this kind of
thing.

Thanks
-Mark
