Wow, I appreciate all the discussion. I'm Joe, the original poster,
who gets confused easily (unfortunately) and learns best by seeing
concrete examples.
So let me try this instead: can you show me a few lines of what I
should be doing? All I want to do is write ASCII characters to a file
(with my own file extension), then read this data back from the saved
file so I can use it. I've tried checking out a few examples online
but they must be from early versions of RB because encoding isn't
even mentioned. SInce it's just ASCII, should I be doing it as a text
stream instead? Or are text streams only for saving to and reading
from files of extension TEXT rather than my own extension?
