HI and thank you for answering me.
How do I pass a parameter/variable to a text file. My initial program asks for input ie a name. I store that as a variable and then need to pass(insert it in a line of a file) it to a file.

In qbasic you can open the file in binary mode and place your input string anywhere in the file. You can insert the string in the file or add to the end of the file, or replace a line in the file, etc.
The binary mode is the most versatile of all 3 main modes, but the least described in the literature.
The binary mode handles all ASCII characters 0-255. Other modes will treat the carraige return, line feed and eof of file characters differently.
