Keith, 'Ask File' will do the trick. 'ask file' is the "save file" complement to 'answer file'

Hi Folks, I’m building a little utility to parse a regular html report file I get into CSV form to slice & dice with Excel. Input & transformation phases are sorted. Input processing uses 'answer file' to select a source file via the native file dialogue, set the defaultFolder and load the HTML content via put URL Transform to structured tabular form is neatly handled via chunk replace & filter functions and iteration. However, I’m struggling to find the syntax needed to save the contents of the output variable / field into a local file via the OS file save dialogue for flexibility. I’m guessing it’s a variant of 'put theContent into URL “file:” & theFolderPathAndName’ but this seems hard-wired. What trick am I missing here?
