Whoops!  i should have known better.  It is quite easy to copy the
contents of a field to the clipboard: simply doMenu "Copy Text".
After that, of course, the contents of the clipboard can be easily
pasted into any other document.  However, the textstyle and
font are lost in the process.  so my original problem still
remains: i want to put the contents of a field to a disk file
in the form of some common word processing software such as 
fullwrite or MacWrite.  I have heard that Ashton-Tate is not
disposed towards releasing this sort of information, but
does anyone know how to approach Claris for information about
the structure of macwrite documents? or is this information
available elsewhere?

thanks for the advice!
