Writing to files

Folks,

I have got the CLI version of Breve working under XP and Cygwin. I am trying
to capture the output of the simulation to a file, so that I can automate the
(many) test runs that I need to carry out. However, the output of a straight
print doesn't seem to be captured if I redirect the output to a file. So, I
have tried to dump the locations and sizes of various objects to a file (see
below). However, when Breve gets to this routine it complains about not being
able to convert vectors to strings.

I would very much appreciate your advice on what (if anything) I'm doing wrong 
here.

Many thanks in advance,

Martyn

# This is a menu item that prints the locations of objects to stdout
    + to export-locations:
        thing (object).
	it (object).

	it = new File.
        it open-for-writing with-file ("output.txt").


        foreach thing in (all Items):
        {
            if (thing get-owner) != 1:
            {
            	it write-line text ((thing get-location)).
            	it write-line text ((thing get-size)).
            }
        }

        it close.
