I created here "/storage/emulated/0/pb" (for "PilBox"), or I use
"/storage/emulated/0/" directly, as this is symlinked in Termux as
"~/storage/shared/".

The easiest is to use the Termux "~/storage/shared/" directory. Does e.g.
(call "cp" "MyApp/MyFile" "/storage/emulated/0/")
not work?
Or even create the file directly there:
(out "/storage/emulated/0/MyFile"

No problem! It is good if you ask such things here, it might also help others :)
