−	* ~~First off, you need to be more specific as to what you want the code to do. I~~'~~m going to assume that you want to write the contents of f to the screen. Based on what I understand from the Lua 5.2 Ref Man, I believe io.output(f) needs to be io.output(f)~~:write(~~), rather than have them seperate. Regardless of that, I do know for sure you need to read in the contents of your file. (ie. local fdata = f:read(), then you need to io.write/print your fdata~~)	+	* Use ''file'':write()
