I still can't get a working grasp on how fopen() works... I'm trying to implement it into the code at the bottom of the page, and I can't seem to get it to work. The first part marked troubled also needs help; any help of which you can offer would be highly appriciated - I've been trying to get fopen() to work for two days now, with no luck. What am I missing?
