The title pretty much explains it. How would one edit a file? I know how to open one, just not edit it. (Yes I looked on the Wiki.)

Either type "edit <programname>" in the CraftOS prompt, or you can look in your Minecraft folder for the computercraft files which you can edit. The programs are in your save folder.

The FS API allows you to manipulate files and the filesystem.

You sure you looked?

Well, not really. You didn't.
But the only other way you may be talking about is by using the fs API.
Take a look at the wiki, and tell us if you need help. Try to be as specific as possible, so you can get the proper help.

Well, I thought there was something like fs.write(), but maybe I was mistaken. Death already helped me in IRC as I'm posting this.

Indirectly there is yes, in the table returned by fs.open.
