Hi there,
haven't got AppleWorks but try this...
Open the AppleScript "Check open document" in a new Script Editor window.
...replace textedit with AppleWorks...

Here is another way. Use a tell for AppleWorks, and put the name of every open document into a list:
set c to {}
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
set b to count every document
repeat with d from 1 to b
set end of c to document d's name
end repeat
end tell
Hope this helps.

I don't think either of these are what i need...What i need is something that will run until a certain document is opened, at which point it opens a DIFFERENT document as well. this is my entire code...
the problem is that when i run the program, it says
on idle
if file "Macintosh HD:Users:KmanCatocuments
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
open document "Macintosh HD:Users:KmanCat
end tell
end if
end idle

I see what you mean. Depending on how much memory it takes, you may need to utilize a handler that accesses AppleWorks and checks to see if a particular document is open or not. I believe that would be excessive. I am also unsure if the Finder can tell which documents are open inside of which applications, so you may be stuck with that anyway.

Now Ric, don't get yourself all excited about my offering up MacScripter.net. I consider myself a slightly above average scripter, especially with AppleWorks. It just so happens that there are about a half dozen top notch scripters that check into MacScripter along with a couple hundred average types like myself. It is a great forum for more involved scripting issues, which I believe this may very well be.
I have been trying to keep an eye on your AS forum here, simply because I like scripting and would be happy to try to assist anyone that needs it.

Would this work ?
Open the AppleScript "Open me Up" in a new Script Editor window.
Just change to your data...
Save it as an Application and add it into your Dock then one click to open both documents...
Is this what you are after ?

That is probably the best idea, Ric. Here is a script that will work with AppleWorks:
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
activate
open file "FULLATH:TOOCUMENT:A"
open file "FULLATH:TOOCUMENT:B"
end tell
When you run it, both documents will open to their most previously saved parameters. So, if you had one on the left of the screen, and one on the right when last you accessed them, they should come back the same way.
Good luck,
