And use flush() a *lot*.
Also, if the data is important, don't overwrite it. Save to a new file, like
filename & sprintf("%d",data&time()) & ",txt" or something, then close/flush,
and check the new file before deleting the old... or don't delete the old at
all,
just use the last file saved as the valid data next time you read data.
