I read that you can save text files, and open them without using FSO. Can
someone point me to the MSDN area that talks about that? Or a spot on the
web. I've hunted around, but can't find a good detailed guide on it.

This question made me smile. For those of us who have been around a while,
it sounds like "I heard Paul McCartney was in another band before Wings."

It's just sad that most of the new folks apparently get the FSO shoved down
their throats. I applaud you for searching for a better way!

I had a similar thought but it was more like
"I heard you can put in a screw with something other than a sledgehammer"

Shall I make you feel old? I've never even heard of the band Wings.  :)

Yeah, my college textbook only talks about fso. Same with the "for dummies"
I bought. I was looking on google for the way to properly to fso, and someone
mentioned not using it. So, I googled some more, and found out a smidge about
it.
