Naive question number 999

[Richmond Mathewson]

My kids are making word-processors with revMedia 4 right now,
and exporting to text

Humpf:  write to file  works with Linux but doesn't seem to work
on Mac, so having to  put fld "XXX" into URL "file: MyCrap.txt"

However the kids are, understandably, rather disappointed
having produced PINK, ITALIC, GIANT, RIGHT ALIGNED text, to
find that all that gets exported is bog-standard text and all
the formatting is gone for a Burton.

Please can someone point me in the right direction to export
styled text?
