How can you create an application that allows the creation of a simple txt file, by inputing lines that are added one after the other - First, we need an object that does not use any header. 2nd, we need that object to place enters where you assign (because the next line inputed by the user will come into the next line of the file). 3rd, we need to save on the hard drive.
Also, if possible, can we add 'tabs'? Somehow?

The List object can save files as plain text. So can the edit object, and rich edit.

Yes, but how do you add lines (and tabs)? This was my problem with them... (though I haven't tried the list yet, so I'll see to it soon)

Well in the list object you use the very secretive hidden feature which only few people know about: the "Add Line" action. In the edit object you can just add some text on the next line by inserting a new line character (Newline$ in MMF 1.5 build 117).
I don't know what you mean about tabs. Do you mean different columns, like a Listview? Or just tabs inserted in the text?

Tabs inserted into a text - like if I press the tab key whilst in notepad, I get some empty space, sort of like a... huge space.

Edit objects can insert tab as long as Multiline is enabled. To use tabs in the expression editor you need to make a new string object and type a tab as its text.

Thanks! It's all clear now... Just one more question: The list object seems to have a limit of some characters per line. Can I extend that just a little bit somehow?
