So that must be the answer. You'd modify the print fn to do something like "echo msg > file". -drl

There should be a way to invoke Win32 to do this, but for something this simple it's probably not worth the effort. -drl

I followed some links and eventually found [link\|http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/jsobjFileSystem.asp\|this], based on which the "print" function was rewritten to:\r\n \r\nfunction print( msg )\r\n var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");\r\n var a = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\\testfile.txt");\r\n a.WriteLine( msg );\r\n a.Close();\r\n} ===\r\nMicrosoft offers them the one thing most business people will pay any price for - the ability to say "we had no choice - everyone's doing it that way." -- [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=38978\|Andrew Grygus]
