SYNOPSIS
success = SaveDTObjectA( o, win, req, file, mode, saveicon, attrs );
ULONG SaveDTObjectA( Object *, struct Window *, struct Requester *,
success = SaveDTObject( o, win, req, file, mode, saveicon, tag1,
ULONG SaveDTObject( Object *, struct Window *, struct Requester *,
ULONG SaveDTObjectA( Object *, struct Window *, struct Requester *,
... );

FUNCTION
This function saves the contents of an object into a file.
The function opens the named file and saves the object's contexts into it (DTM_WRITE). Then it closes the file. If the DTM_WRITE method returns success and the saveicon option is TRUE, matching icon is saved.
If DTM_WRITE returns 0, the file will be deleted.
