Yes. You took the words right out of my mouth!

How?

I clicked Edit.Open. Typed something into it. Then added a filename at viewer's title.
Then clicked System.Store. I got the file. Oped in Linux. No Luck. It shows me blank!
In Oberon when I open it, it has the same characters I typed.
That means, I was not able to get a plain ascii file using Edit.Open in Oberon.

Same I did using Script.Open. No luck. Similar observation.


How do you create a plain ascii file?
I tried all these in OLR.
Because it is easy to create a file in Oberon and immidiately access the file from /olr folder in Linux.
Never tried on my NO in vbox, because I don't know how to exchange file between NO and Linux.


Kindly refer me the steps to create ascii file, if you are able to do so.

You are right.
My mistake. I want to know how to do it in NO alpha 2.3.6 (and OLR).


With thanks and best regards,
