How can I export a whole field value to a text file?

Hi. I need to export the field value "Event" in the form "Mail Events" inside Log.nsf to a text file. I use the "Print #fileNum, doc.Events(0)" statement but find that only part of the field value has been exported. How can I export the whole field value to a text file? I am using Domino R 5.0.8.
The events field in the Mail Events form is a multi-value field. You will need to loop through all the values and repeat your writing to file for each value.

For instance with a simple routine like this: 

	x=0
	Do While x<Ubound(doc.events)
		myContent=doc.Events(x)
		'do your thing here
		x=x+1
	Loop

This will allow you to keep printing to your file, until the last value is reached of the events field.
