Now that I have my preference file being read automatically using GetFolderItem("Prefs"). What is the command to have it write without asking me the name and location?

Actually, GetFolderItem("Prefs") won't ask you the name and location; it'll just give you a file called "Prefs" in the same folder as your app. Better would be PreferencesFolder.Child("YourAppName.pref") or something like that.

But it sounds like you're trying to dive into REALbasic without first going through the tutorial. That's going to waste a lot of your time -- a more efficient approach would be to do the tutorial first. By the time you're done with that, you'll already have a good grasp on issues like these and be ready to focus on the trickier bits.

Best,
