Well, saving is a very sensible task.
Ok, I can do the following:

"$TMTOOLS" do saveCurrentDocument
This command is the same command like APPLE+S. Fine, but if the  
document is 'untitled' then this command would invoke the NSSavePanel  
and TM will freeze.

To avoid this one could do to the following:
RETURN=$("$TMTOOLS" do saveCurrentDocument '{avoidPanel;}')
This would mean that if the current document is an 'untitled'  
document it will return '0' without showing the save panel AND  
without saving, otherwise it'll return '1'; and it is up to you what  
do you want to do.

An other approach would be:
$TMTOOLS" do saveWithFilename '{name=XXX;overwriteMode;}'

This command would also save even an untitled document as XXX. Fine,  
but TM will not be informed about the saving (that's why I used  
saveWithFilenameAndReopen). It's possible to mark the current  
document as saved, and set the window title to XXX, but this would  
lead to some unstable side-effects, I guess.

Thus I would prefer the first approach. But as I mentioned above,  
saving is a very sensible issue!
