The File Class
The File class allows you to open and write to a file on disk. This is useful for logging user input for which you have no response in the development or beta-test phase, writing utilities which allow you to position Actors on a picture and then write out the coordinates, etc.

write: str [str ...]
Write the strings pointed to by str to the file.
