Don't know... I just want the simple plain kind of file that Squeak used to produce....
 
I can't check it, but if I remember correctly I used something like:
 
FileDirectory default forceNewFileNamed: aStringWithCompletePath
to create the file stream, and filled it with the contents of a WriteStream
 
The resulting file can be opened with notepad etc, and looks OK, but MSWord asks for the encoding, and R (when run from the command line) refuses to open the file.

Do you need a specific encoding? What about line endings?

How are you creating your file?
