Suppose your filename is in a variable called "myFile". This will create
the file and put the contents of field 1 into it:

  put field 1 into URL ("file:" & myFile)

If the variable myFile contains a pathname, the file is created where
specified; otherwise, it's created in the defaultFolder (by default, this
is the same folder as the application).
