New submission from Terry J. Reedy:

If possible, when saving an instance of an OutputWindow, the file type should 
default to .txt (or possibly even nothing) instead of .py. At present, 
OutputWindows are only used for Find in Files (grep) output, which is very much 
not Python code. The same should be true of any other OutputWindow uses, which 
I except there will be, making OutputWindow saves more common.

A patch should be tested and verified on Mac, Linux, and Windows.
