The scriptVar.save() function only saves a script to nonvolatile memory or a USB flash drive. 
If no filename is given, the script will be saved to internal nonvolatile memory. Only a named script (the script's 
name attribute is not an empty string) can be saved to internal nonvolatile memory. If a filename is given, the 
script will be saved to the USB flash drive.  
You are not required to add the file extension, but if you would like to, the only allowed extension is .tsp (see 
Example 2).

test8 to nonvolatile memory. 
Example 2
