export RTF as file?

[Dan Shafer]

I suspect all this OS X stuff I'm doing is useless because you seem to 
be more concerned about Wordpad but I thought I'd add this data point.

If I format the text in the field and then save it in an RTF file, Word 
recognizes the styling, it shows up in the raw RTF in BBEdit, but 
Apple's TextEdit, which is the default RTF reader in OS X) ignores the 
styling. The text shows up in the default RTF font but not styled.
