writing text widget contents to file

[magicme]

hello
i am new to tcl/tk and am converting some VB programs as i learn tcl.
am trying to write (puts? dump?) the contents of a multiline text widget to a file.
i was using the puts command to write stuff line by line simultaneously to the text widget and the output file, but this makes a lot of duplicate code.

i tried simply:
puts $outfilename .textwidgetname.text

but that didn't work

i have two bokks here and neither one explains how to write the complete contents of a text widget to a file.

any help would be appreciated.
