I haven't used the e-mail solution, and I'm sure someone else has and
will be able to give you some guidance on that. I have saved files with
feedback, though. You can use the askFile command to open a dialog and
prompt for a file name, allowing the user to save it to floppy or
directly to the hard drive.
The Cross Worlds site has a nice discussion of using files. The URL for
the MetaClass file is
http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/metaclass/class3.htm. If you haven't
already, explore their MetaCard area...it's got some neat stuff.
