I tried it and it did work this time, thanks so much.  Your effort may keep 
me trying bit by bit to gain a little profiency.

And yes, I believe I see how much of this ought to work now.  I am just 
going to keep going over how one assigns a variable like savefile to a built 
in function like open() but then attaches a method to it such as when you 
write savefile.write.  I think if I work with that enough I will come to see 
it as intuitive; for now it still is unintuitive.   Thanks again.
