I was so surprised to see you write this I had to go and look right away. I use the report file heavily in Version 4 to catalog results.
I was able to click on the diskette icon, and specify a name where I wanted to save the file. But I wasn't able to find anything to open it with. I went hunting for newly created files in Omega's directory tree, but nothing stood out.
Finally, I looked in the help file. This is build 512. Under the topic Printing the TradeStation System Report, I found a Note: "You cannot save the report to a file. The 'Save to File' toolbar button saves the report for use with Portfolio Maximizer, an add-on product available from Omega Research that enables you to combine multiple system results and evaluate them together".
Imagine that. Can't save a report to a file anymore. Hmph.
But you get to save a screen shot of your results. Great.
So I tried an old trick. Setup a generic text only printer, and have it print to the port "FILE:". Usually this allows you to save an ascii version, if one can be created. Well, results were mixed. I was able to see several headings, but none of the numbers.
By the way, the email address for wish list items is tswishlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I've just sent a request.
