I need to know how to output a set of counts and on-screen commento to a text file.

short example:

?"Texas"
Count for state="TX"


How can I make those results apear in a text file?


Any help apriciated!

count for state = "TX" to MFRED
??? "Texas " + transform(MFRED,"999")+chr(13)

*??? means "print this"
*chr(13) = carriage return
