Aaron is right. In fact, pointing to -display- was perhaps
misdirection on my part.

Pradipto wants to write a text file, so -file- is good. From the
problem description you could also assemble the output as values of a
string variable, so long as each line was <= 244 characters, and then
just -outfile- that string variable.
