[Tutor] write to a file

[Scot W. Stevenson]

Hello Gus, 

> file = file('C:\filename.txt', 'w')
> x = 'hello, sir'
> file.write(x)

In think your supposted to close the file after you're done, too, tho 
nothing evil seems to happen if you don't (or maybe it is all the Garlic 
hanging from my monitor). So we'd have:

filename = file('myfile.txt', 'w')
filename.write('Write this string to file')
filename.close()

While we're here: Is there any possible problem hat could arise from giving 
a variable ('file' in this case) the same name as a function ('file', the 
function formerly know as 'open') ?

Y, Scot
