>Now I have a choice. I can either learn the Visual FoxPro 7.0 language (I own the programme). This will take quite some time. Or I find somebody who can tell me what to write instead of "set device to print" when I want to write a file to disk. Perhaps it is easy, perhaps it is not and I will have to do it the hard way.
I use:
set alternate to MyFile.txt

set console off

set console on
set alternate off
set alternate to

set device to file MyText.txt
@ 1,1 say "Hello"
