write fails

[Lynch, Jonathan]

I never use open, write, close...

I did at first, but it just never occurs that I need to do it that way.

The put URL and put into URL methods are so much easier.

If you have a file named "C:/my documents/my feet stink.txt" then you
would address it like this (in Windows):

Put "file:C:/my documents/my feet stink.txt" into tFileURL
Put URL tFileURL into tMyText
-- do whatever you need to do with the text
Put tMyNewText into URL tFileURL


Now, if you are using binary data, in other words you need to make sure
Revolution does not automatically change end of line markers to its own
format, then put "binfile:" in front of the file path rather than
"file:"

Jon,

I think you need to "open file" before writing to it, or, alternatively
use 
the "put URL"

See the docs for detail.
