GrADS output to textfile?

[Teddy Allen]

Dear GrADS users,
I have seen traces of information leading to the creation of .txt files from GrADS output generated from NetCDF files. Unfortunately, I am having a bit of trouble trying to accomplish this. One method says to:
 
'set gxout fwrite'
'set fwrite file.txt'
'd [variable]'
'disable fwrite'
 
While another points to a script from the cookbook: http://cookbooks.opengrads.org/index.php?title=Recipe-002:_Saving_GrADS_variable_data_to_a_text_file
 
 
I also try :
set gxout fwrite
d [variable]
disable fwrite
 
GrADS  then sends an output to my hard-drive, but it is not in an ascii .txt format.
Does anybody have a simple method to produce text output files from GrADS? I am not having any success in the above options. I am using GrADS 2.0 on a windows XP system. 
 
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
teddy
