We don't have to, but I would like to know how I can use a score.txt file to keep a high score. I know about the comparison of the file's content to the current score and such, but how can I read from and, if the current score is higher, write to score.txt? I think I can use Scanner to read, but I am not sure how to do it, and I have no clue how to write. I use Notepad as my editor and compile at the command line. Thanks for any help. Have a great day, Alex __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
