If the OP is just working through my tutor I doubt if he will
be able to do much of that yet. Especially since the
"handling text" topic is the one *after* handling files! :-)

BTW Thanks for the reminder about RTF format, you are
right it is not strictly a binary file it is formatted text. The
end result is the same in that the OP needs to use a
plain unformatted text file rather than trying to write to RTF.

Also The RTF module I mentioned is here:
