[JW Lua] metatools assignments

[Jari Williamsson]

Joseph,

In addition to what Jan said:
* Remove the call to SaveNew(), since it isn't needed. SaveNew() should 
only be used for classes that can save a list of objects to the same 
location. SaveAsKeyStroke() is the SaveAs method to use for metatool 
assignments.

* Put the AssignTextExpressionDef before the save, otherwise the 
connection to the text expression def will not be saved to Finale.


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
