1. File output
How do I output to a file without overwriting it? I used
open(file,"u")--update
puts(fn,"blah")
and it overwrites what is already in the file

you need to use open(file,"a") for "append."

You need to use append mode.
Update mode allows you to open a file for reading and writing, the
position starts at the beginning of the file. Append is for adding to
an existing file (write only). The position starts at the end of the
file.
Try:
fn = open(file,"a")
puts(fn,"blah")

Re-read the docs on open(), you need to use a, not u.
