Scratch

If you want to list the code for a Scratch program, this is the way. (I use a PC, but I'd guess it's the same for a Mac)

Press Shift and also choose Extras with the shift key still being held down.
A drop-down menu appears with the option to 'Write project summary'.
Release the shift key.
The dropdown menu stays visible.
Click on 'Write summary project'.
Two things now happen -  The text listing is saved as a file in your main 'Scratch folder)
                            and -  The text listing is held in memory and can be pasted into 
                                      any wordprocessor that you prefer.


Do NOT keep the shift key depressed as you click on 'Write project summary' or else nothing will happen.

The above instructions were thrashed out in a separate thread and it was a comment by 'johnm' that provided the final clue for people who were having problems.

In the other thread, kevin-karplus added this comment, so Mac users need to know this:

".....Actually, there is still a bug.  My Mac OS X version still doesn't write the file.
It is true that the copy buffer gets the text, which I had not been aware of, so there is a very ugly workaround for this bug ...."
