Here the default assumption is Web use.

For that, write the data to a textarea and ask the user to copy'n'paste
it to where he wants it; or write it to a new window and ask him to use
File, Save As or equivalent. First, though, check that they work for an
arbitrary user and a page from a remote server.

To do that sort of thing in javascript run locally with WSH, which is
really Jscript, ask in a a Jscript group - see FAQ 2.2.

<FAQENTRY> The Jscript link in 2.2 should be copied or moved into 2.7.
