Thread-topic: 3rd Window won't run( it runs now)
Saving the value for theBalB a text file is pretty easy. Printing on the
other hand is a bit more complicated. Lets tackle the text file first.

You will want to use these RB functions
The FolderItemDialog Class SaveAsDialog
TextOutputStream

There are good examples in the online Language Reference

First Dimension the variables

  Dim dlg as New SaveAsDialog
  Dim f as FolderItem
  Dim fileStream As TextOutputStream

Then using the example in the LR to setup the way you want the
SaveAsDialog to appear to the user for the following:

Initial Directory
Prompt Text
Suggested File Name
The Dialog Title
The Action Button Caption

Launch the dialog to ShowModal

Be sure to check that the FolderItem is not Nil (it is Nil if the user
presses cancel so you have to handle that). The LR shows you how.

If it is not Nil then you use TextOutputStream to create, write and
close the file

When you get that working you will be ready to tackle printing.
