Could someone point me in the direction of an AppleScript that can extract the text from every text box in a QXP 6.5 document and dump it to a text file?

I should imagine it's fairly easy to write, but just wondering if there was a pre-built one floating around that I could use as a starting point?

Many thanks.

IIRC, one can export the text of a QXP file as a XML file. I'm sure someone could do something with AppleScript from that.
