Personally, for working with files, I would be inclined to have the students create a new model file, and save it in a folder somewhere, before using the "file-*" commands. The most common use case later on will be saving/loading data from the same folder (or a subfolder) of the folder that the model resides in, so I'd just go with that.
In general, I *do* like experimenting with the command center... and you could still have them do that *after* they had created/saved a "File Testing.nlogo" model file.
