save multiple layers to one file

[aatuttle]

I do graphics where one layer is lines and a second layer is a background within the lines. The rest of the canvase is transparent.
I need to export the two layers together into a file with the name of the top layer, no additions. Cropped to the selection would be nice if possible.

I have been doing this all manually,
select the layers (the ones to export)
ctrl-C (to copy both layers)
ctrl-n {create a new file - does the size of the selection, transparent background layer))
enter (creates the file)
ctrl-v (paste both layers into file)
select "layer 1" (select the transparent background layer)
delete "layer 1" (delete the transparent background layer)
select the top layer (the one with lines)
double click to select name (highlites the name)
ctrl-c (copy the name)
file (removes the highliting)
file (brings up the file menu)
save as (brings up the save as screen with file name highlited)
ctrl-v (puts top layer name as file name)
enter (saves the file with just the two layers)

then I close the file and go on to the next two layers.
Some of these pictures break down into over 30 separate files.
I tried to create actions, but the copy and paste don't work properly. Tried to use a script to copy the top file name to the clipboard, but it still did not work properly, and then I get command not available errors and wrong file names.
At imes there may be only one layer, or even three layers to export. But the layers are pre selected.

What do you think, is it possible?

I am a 69 year old disabled veteran, not as computer savy as I would like to be. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, I meant to make this a request.
