  2. In Basic256, I cannot find a way to export or save a file that I create in my program. Normally, I would only want to save a .txt file in order to retain the user-selected options for the program. I could then re-use this file in a future run to save the user from re-entering all the model parameters every time. It also allows faster and easier testing of computer model sensitivities and drives model refinement by direct comparison of input variables with model outputs. This process is important for anyone who needs to build computer models of real-world events. It also facilitates the use of Basic256 results with other tools – for example, my program produces output that could easily use Excel as a presentation tool. A SAVE, SAVE AS… or EXPORT command for files would be good or an example of how to do this using the existing ‘System’ command.

    1. The open statement will open a file and then you can writeline to it. I create text and data files all the time.
