The open and close commands take either paths or aliases, not file
references. Try something like this::

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
 open "PowerBook G4:Users:michael:Documents:Current Projects:x:x:x"
         save document 1 to  �
                 "PowerBook G4:Users:michael:Documents:Current
Projects:x:x:x2"
         close document 1 saving no
 end tell
