This is the handler that creates the file

on writeToFile fPath, fName, fData

  if objectP(gFileObject) then set gFileObject = 0 --Deletes the instance if
it already exists
  set gFileObject = new(xtra "fileio")
  openFile( gFileObject, fPath & fName,0) -- Opens the file with R/W access
  delete (gFileObject)
  createFile( gFileObject, fPath & fName)
  openFile(gFileObject, fPath & fName, 0)
  writeString( gFileObject, fData)
  closeFile (gFileObject)
  set gFileObject = 0 -- Disposes of the instance

end


The handler is called from here

on activate

  fData=receivedTex.item[2]
  writeToFile securityfPath, securityfName, fData
  ProcessData (fData)

end activate
