[Tutor] clearing a text document

[max baseman]

right it's for a quick math "game" the rules are simple you start  
with any number to get the next number you, a. if it's odd multiply  
by 3 than add 1 or b. if it's even divide by two,  the point of this  
is to see how long it takes to get to one are it starts to repeat  
4,2,1,4,2,1...
now im looking for a a number with  a very high amount of numbers  
till you get to 1 so every time it's finds a new one i would like it  
to write that to a file and clear the last entry,
