Users saving data on a text editor

Hi. I am trying to make a simple text editor. Although I'm getting somewhere, I need help in one particular thing, how to save. I don't mean how to save the code I typed in the complier, I mean how do users save the document they are working on. If it helps at all I would like the program to save when users press the number 2 (numeric order in commands). If you need any more details about the program just reply to this thread or PM me.

Also, although I am NOWHERE near it, I will need to find out how to print the document as well.

Thanks, this really helps.

to save a file, u just need to get the data from the txt area and put it in a file. which option u chose to do that with is up to you (file choosers, predefined file names, etc...).

as for printing, i dunno. look it up online as u have been for quite some time now.

What are you working with? Common controls, or..?

Complier = Dev C++ if thats what you mean. Really all I want is to make a simple text editor, almost like notepad in a DOS screen that can save and print documents.
