Or if you don't need a permanent record, just set a custom property. Or set the defaultfolder.

Much much better than dumping text documents all over other people's data storage!

Thank you so much.

However, being, either a slow learner, or, just forgetful, I had a tough time setting the defaultFolder and would like to share (why do I dislike the word 'share' so much?) my code so nobody else wastes 20
minutes just for this:

on mouseUp
  ask file "Choose where you wish to export your text"
  if the result = "cancel"
  then exit mouseUp
  else
     put the RTFtext of fld "TEKST" into url("file:" & it & ".rtf")
--------------------------------------------------------------
     set the itemDelimiter to slash
     set the defaultFolder to item 1 to -2 of the longFilePath of it
--------------------------------------------------------------
     end if
end mouseUp

the 2 lines enclosed in lines are lifted directly from the RunRev 4 documentation

Big Thanks from me).
