if you dont want people to cheat so easily consider saving it into an array instead of a text file.

use a (zero) in the save array commands usage regardless of dimension size.

SAVE ARRAY Filename, Array Name(0)

or as an example whilst ignoring the array zero location

dim PlayerMoney(1) : PlayerMoney(1) = 45
SAVE ARRAY "PlrMoney.dat", PlayerMoney(0)

Um...
Indi's method I recommend also but I use another way. It may be a little out of your league right now but I suggest you use it later on.

I suggest you make your own encryption so characters on the keyboard are transformed into others.... Then have the program save it like that and work backwards when you want to read.. Dont tell anyone your encryption and you will be fine.

Hope I helped.

if you favor simplicity over security, try these.

open to write "gimme.dat",1
write float 1,balance#
close file 1

and

open to read "gimme.dat",1
read float 1,balance#
close file
