Ok Brian, Look you have a variable called hp and you are reading a line into
this variable. So you have two text fields, and a variable that are storing
info you read from the text file.
Ok but first you have this to write it:
> Dim f as folderitem
> Dim t as textoutputstream
> f=preferencesfolder.child("InternetPal Settings")
> if f <> Nil then
> t = f.CreateTextFile
> t.writeline settingsWIN.homepage.text

Do you see this ^^^^^^ ? You write two lines but read three. So the hp
variable above is reading the welcomespeech.text that you saved. And the
third .readline is reading what exactly? According to what you wrote there
shouldn't be a third line.
Of course it is late and I may have gotten this all backwards because I am
typing from memory of my first program to use text files.
Have you tried opening the file in BBEdit or Texedit to see what it
contains?
