Jon,

Below I have copied and pasted the script I use for exporting images. 
It compiles and it has the advantage of putting the  file where I 
want it--as opposed to putting everything in the RR application file:

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?"
   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

Be sure you respond exactly to the request for the image name.

Reminds me of a Prof. of physics who was doing a demonstration to 
illustrate the dynamics of shperical opjects. He began: "I have three 
balls," which brought a few giggles, but he brought the room down 
when he followed with: "And one of them's green."
