How about:

	Save summary as text

for writing to a text file the summary lines, and

	Save dissection as text

for writing to a text file the detailed dissection of the packets.  
That way it might make it clear that you're *NOT* saving the capture, 
you're saving the summary or the dissection of the capture.

However, as we have a "Tools->Summary" item that displays a summary of 
the capture, i.e. packet counts and the like, perhaps "Save summary as 
text" would be confusing, and we should just have "Save dissection as 
text" and have a UI similar to the "Print" dialog.

(Or maybe there's a better word than "dissection".)
