    Are you asking for something other than just editing it in notepad?

    Editing in notepad just seems time consuming and clumsy. I wondered if there was a way of creating 'input question, input multiple choice answers' and then have the resulting .txt file ?

    Would something in Flash CS5, actionscript 3 be okay?

    Hi,

    Here is a very basic AS3 way of doing it for you,
    PHP Code:
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.text.TextField;
    import flash.net.URLLoader;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;

    // *** Save part
    var TextToSave:TextField;
    var 
    FileRef:FileReference;

    function 
    SaveFile(e:MouseEvent):void
    {
        
    FileRef = new FileReference();
        
    FileRef.save(TextToSave.text"MySavedText.txt");
    }

    SaveButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,SaveFile);

    // *** Import part;
    var TextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

    TextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETEOnLoad);

    function 
    OnLoad(e:Event):void
    {
        
    TextToSave.text TextLoader.data;
    }

    function 
    GetFile(e:MouseEvent)
    {
        
    TextLoader.load(new URLRequest("MySavedText.txt"));
    }

    LoadButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,GetFile); 
    On stage:
    Two movieclips/buttons - Names = LoadButton/SaveButton
    One Textfield - Name = TextToSave

    and one external text file called MySavedText.txt if you are going to import first.
