If all 5 fields are numbered in sequence, you can do it even faster this
way:
on SaveAll pNumFields,pTextFilePath
put "" into tData
repeat with x = 1 to pNumFields
put fld x & numToChar(1) after tData
end repeat
delete last char of tData
put tData into url("file:" & pTextFilePath)
end SaveAll
It's probably better to use a delimiter like numToChar(1) instead of CR
because each field may already have return-delimited data in it.
Just my 2 cents,
