SYNTAX            : RANGE @;S

RESULTING ARGUMENT: None

FUNCTION          : Create an output file containing a selection from the
                    current buffer. The buffer remains unchanged, and the
                    current cursor position is set to the starting-point
                    of the range.

                    The file name is picked from a requester, active on the
                    current directory.

RANGE             : START,END
                    START         : the buffer position to start at
                    END           : the buffer position to stop at

DEFAULT           : h

EXAMPLE           : 1 , 2 @;s ESC
                    This command will write the second character of the
                    current buffer to a file for which a requester is
                    generated.

NOTE 1            : If the file already exists, it is silently overwritten,
                    inheriting the protection from the original.

NOTE 2            : The default file name is not affected.

NOTE 3            : If writing the file does not succeed, the original will
                    be available under the same name, extended with .TVB.
