[PD] Writing -dB or VU level to a TXT File

[Benalt, Adam D (NBC Universal, MSNBC)]

Yeah, that's what I thought at first.
But, when I try to enter a back-slash '\' I get an error in the print
window that says "keycode 92: dropped"
Also the help file shows the slashed the way I wrote them, I just copied
what was in there.

Thanks again.

I would think that on Windows you have to do something like [write C: 
\tmp\textfile.txt] but I'm not positive. Anyway, the problem I see is
the path to the file. /tmp/textfile.txt means nothing to Windows.
