Saving Objects

[Peter Haworth]

I think the following would work.

First highlight the group then:

copy
put the clipboarddata["objects"] into URL "binfile:<path to your file>".

To get it back:

set the clipboarddata["Objects"] to URL "binfile:<path to your file>"
paste --will paste onto the top card.
