It sounds like your just trying to text edit a .bzw map in notepad if I'm right?

Go to were you saved your map,
Right click,
Click "open with",
click notepad and press "open",

Hope that helped :D

The problem is not the wings-to-bzw exporter, what you want is bzw-to-obj conversion.
The answer is here... http://my.bzflag.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=10226
from bzflag, use /saveworld -o fiename.obj
then import that file into wings.

Another neat trick for newbie mappers is to find your config.cfg file, and edit:
set showCoordinates 1

Can you provide more detail? What said "denied"? Is there more to the error message? What steps did you go through to get the error? And so on...
