Hi Greg,

the error message is exact; you cannot use saveAs for saving the list  
of points of a Plot window. The PlotGetValuesDemo macro shows you how  
to get the values from a plot and print them into the 'Log' window:

   Plot.getValues(x, y);
   for (i=0; i<x.length; i++)
     print(x[i], y[i]);

Then, you can save the contents of the 'Log' window and close it.

Michael
