Thanks Terry,
This is my problem.
My Files Hard Drive is a different volume from my boot volume
so I did this
Dim f as folderitem
f = volume ("My Files Hard Drive").child(My docs).child(My New docs)
file = f("text", FileName)
but that doesn't work.

Check out the DocumentsFolder Function.
If the files are to be in a folder in the user's Documents folder on
Mac or the user's My Documents folder on Windows, the folderitem to
that folder can be created by:
Dim f as Folderitem
f=DocumentsFolder.Child("My New Docs")
You must check for f.exists and f<>Nil before you try to write to it.
You wouldn't use GetSaveFolderitem because you have a specific folder
specified and you don't want the dialog.
