I'm relatively new to JavaScript & JScript. Recently familiarized myself with the language.

Since I program in python before, I got some questions about writing files.

If there an API to write files to the HDD somewhere? A plain text file?

All I want to do is store a Date() whenever I click a menu button from a chat window. This Date() is associated with the Contact, so that whenever I click another menu button, it pulls up the time.

I'm doing this to futhur familiarize myself with the language.

Thanks for any help
