No, it does not help, because it does not work!
It takes only about 30 seconds to test it, if it works.
If it does not, it usually takes a bit longer, but it saves you a lot
of embarrassment and you do not confuse the poor newbie even more.

include get.e

atom fn
sequence full_path, drive, file

puts(1, "Enter drive letter: ")
drive = gets(0)                     -- get the drive letter in a
sequence
drive = drive[1..1]                 -- strip newline

puts(1, "\nEnter file name: ")
file = gets(0)                      -- get the file name in a sequence
file = file[1..length(file)-1]      -- strip newline

full_path = drive & ":\\" & file    -- concatenate

fn = open( full_path, "w" )
    -- do your stuff
close(fn)
