Extended Definition:
1. The contents of the field can be written to a new or existing file by ‘write’ command. If an existing file name is suggested then the file will be overwritten after a prompt warning. The new file can be specified with extension like .txt or .doc. If no extension is specified then the file will be created with an extension .tab. You do not need to enclose the file name in quotes if it only contains alpha-numeric characters and starts with a letter. If you want to include other characters, such as a '.' for an extension or '/' or '[]' for directory paths, you must enclose the name in quotes.
