Say you have 5 text fields on one card is it possible to have them all save to one file that the user names?
Yes, you just have to concatenate the fields into a variable and then write the variable to the file
put field 1 into temp put cr & field 2 after temp put cr & field 3 after temp put cr & field 4 after temp put cr & field 5 after temp
put temp into URL "file:" & fileName
Exactly how you do this depends on what's in the fields (is there more than one line in each field?), and whether or not you're going to want to read the file back into the separate fields. If there's only one line of text in each field then the above would give you a file containing five lines of text. To repopulate the fields from the file you would do something like
put URL fileName into temp put line 1 of temp into fld 1 put line 2 of temp into fld 2 etc...
If any of the fields contains more than one line, you'll need to use something other than cr as the delimiter, and so line references won't be appropriate, but you could use any character that you're sure won't be in the actual text ('^' perhaps) and then set the itemDelimiter to that, and refer to the different fields' text as items.
