redirecting histogram statistics to file

hi,

I am interested in dumping the contents of the statistics box of a
histogram to a file. 

The application is for when one has a large number of root files and is
interested in only a summary of histogram information for each one. 

I tried several things at the question mark, but was unsuccessful.
The problem has something to do with the fact that the pad is divided. 
 
---------------------------

void format_getStat()
{
gROOT->Reset();
TFile f("data.root");
f->cd();

// plot histogram in pad
myc = new TCanvas("myc","All purpose canvas");
pad1 = new TPad("pad1","This is pad1",0.02,0.02,0.98,0.9,33);
pad1->Divide(2,3); 
pad1->cd(1);
myntuple->Draw("mass_jets", "numJets==3");

// print out statistics for histogram
TPaveText *stats = (TPaveText*)gPad->GetPrimitive("stats");
// where to go from here ?
// stats->Print(); >> test1 // works for divided canvas or undivided pad,
                            // but not for divided pad	

?

...

}

--------------------------

Thanks,
Ben
