Hi Kee,

Dar already offered you a solution via the 'open' and
'write' commands. However, you can also use the URL
way, if you apply the "binfile:" option.

  replace return with \
          numtoChar(13) & numToChar(10) \
          in tText
  put tText into URL ("binfile:" & tFilePath)

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
