Jon,

I'm not the best person to answer this question but try the following:

on mouseUP
   ask  "What image to save?"
   if it is empty then exit mouseUp
   put it into theImageToSave
   ask file "Give it what file name? (Don't forget the suffix.)"
   if it is empty then exit mouseUp
   put it into fileName
   if it is not empty then
     put "binFile:"&fileName into theLongFileName
   else
     exit mouseUp
   end if
   put image theImageToSave into url theLongFileName
end mouseUP

In theImageToSave be sure to include the suffix, e.g. ".png"

This handler should put a file on disk which you can edit in 
PhotoShop/Elements or whatever.

It might be nice if Run Rev included an "Export" menu option to go 
with the "Import" menu option.

Somehow the numbers of the ball got lost in some of the iterations of 
Nine Ball.

You will find Nine Ball using Scott's shiny balls *with* attached 
numbers on my web site:
