Stuck on basic file commands

I'm working on an Editor of sorts for the data files a program I'm writing will be using. (Maps, stats, whatever.)

My plan is to have the editor dump the data it works with into a file, and then have the program load from that file. Unfortunately, I don't know the first thing about writing or accessing information from within an external file.

I'm still trying to figure out the PB>Help>Files section. (Lots of commands!) I'm kind of lost in the massiveness of it. Could someone point me in the direction of where I need to start to learn this?

*Sigh* Yep, I'm a N00b!
When I dream,
I carry a sword in one hand,
a gun in the other...

 See these commands,

WriteFile  = Saving Data to disc

ReadFile  = Reading data from disc.

CloseFile  = to close a file after you're done with it (either reading or writing)
