Okay. Thanks. I'm a bit obtuse at this late hour....

Your second example appears, instead, to be an example of how to WRITE
to a file. Or am I simply befuddled at this late hour (nearly 1 AM, my
time)??

This part is an open file handler that is different from write to or read
from methods. I just added the save method for the heck of it using a global
variable to save to the gFilePath without opening a file selection window
first. Just showing you stuff... look at "answer file" and "ask file" in the
docs.
