Hi Lauren,
Thanks for your reply.
Actually, i want to create a text file onto palm then email this file to another party. If the another party retrieve this email and open the text file from a PC. Will this file be in .txt format? do i need to create another program to convert this file to readable text format???
Rgds, ailee

Strictly speaking, you can't really create "pure" files in memory, you always have to work with databases. The FileStream API operations are backed by a database, with the actual data being stored in one or more records.
To create "real" files, you have to store the data on a memory card and use the VFS API.
