Chuck,

 you can print (save) directly to a file on disk. See
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/macros/SaveTextFileDemo.txt for a demo.
 You can also print to a text window first. Then to save it to disk, you can
use:

 f = File.open("/Users/yourname/yourfile.txt");
 selectWindow("index.html");
 content = getInfo();
 print(f,content);
 File.close(f);

 Jerome.
