Closing windows in transmit

Question

very basic i know, but when i insert a close command in a script, nothing seems to happen
I am sending out files using FTP application Transmit and need the window to close after a transmission otherwise I am left with sometimes hundreds of open windows
I do not want the application to quit, only for the windows to close - leaving an empty desktop after the script has finished
this is the script i am using... I have taken out all close commands in the hope someone can help
If anyone out there has transmit and can try it out I would be most grateful. Some people have helped me in the past but for some reason I can not get the windows to close
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
activate application "Transmit"
tell application "Transmit"
-- create new window to upload files with
make new document at before front document
tell document 1 -- send commands to the frontmost document window
tell session 1 -- sends commands to the first session in the window
-- CHANGE: connects to the favorite with the name specified
-- You may also use the connect to command to connect to a non-favorite server
if {connect to favorite with name "NAME OF FTP"} then
-- CHANGE: change remote path if desired
-- set their stuff to "Upload Destination"
-- upload all items dropped onto the droplet
try
repeat with theFile in added_items
-- ignoring result from upload
upload item theFile
end repeat
end try
else
display dialog ("An error occured, could not connect to favorite")
end if
-- once the upload has finished, disconnect
disconnect
end tell
end tell
end tell
end adding folder items to

mattsnapper,
Transmit is a fine GUI FTP app, but your question really asks how to put away the GUI.
A good answer to the specific question is difficult because because the script does not keep track of what is happening in which window. If you could identify which window is running which FTP session in then it would be easier to 'close' each window following the session. Sounds like a lot of work to me.
I would suggest using a non GUI ftp tool (you are not there anyway, so what good does the GUI do??)
Check out the URL Access Library in Script Editor. Personally I am fond the shell command 'curl'.
