I have started something basic.With the code below it compiles and runs.It
has a text field, a horizontal and vertical scroll bar and a basic pull
down menu.On the menu is open, new, save, saveas.. etc...My question is,
how would I go about writing the code for the save or saveas.. item on the
pull down menu , that would actually save my text to a Floppy disk.:)Also
where would I start to look for this kind of information and what is it
called?Any recommended books? Thank You

public class MyMenu3 extends JFrame {

JTextArea textArea;
JScrollPane scrollPane;

public MyMenu3 () {

JMenuBar menuBar;
JMenu menu;
JMenuItem menuItem;

addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
         {  public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
            {  System.exit(0);
            }
         } );

//Add Components

Container contentPane = getContentPane();
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
textArea = new JTextArea(300, 300);
scrollPane = new JScrollPane(textArea,
ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS,
ScrollPaneConstants.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER);
contentPane.add(panel, "East");
contentPane.add(scrollPane);
        
//Create Menu Bar

menuBar = new JMenuBar();
setJMenuBar(menuBar);

//Build Menu

menu = new JMenu("File");
menuBar.add(menu);

//Make menu Item

menuItem = new JMenuItem("Save");
menu.add(menuItem);
}


public static void main(String[] args) {
MyMenu3 window = new MyMenu3 ();
window.setSize(300, 300);
window.setVisible(true);
}
     
}
