Hans,

I can confirm that "export" is a ScriptMasterXT command.

Making this the preferred command. Does "save" support export other than
XTags? What is the syntax for save as ASCII text?

Quote from Quark dictionary:
Save
[as type class] -- the file type of the document in which to save the data

-- I hate these dictionaries. They tell you just enough to want to throw
them though a window. What are the valid "type class"?

Original Command: (saves as Xtags & works)
save story 1 of current box as "TEXT" in (fileName & "X")

This didn't work:
save story 1 of current box as "ASCII Text" in (fileName & "A")
Nor:
save story 1 of current box as "ASCII" in (fileName & "A")
Or:
save story 1 of current box as "TXT" in (fileName & "A")
[OK, that is known as thrashing.]

My error message was "Can't make some data into the expected type."

Thanks, Hans.

/Michael
