I'm not a retard, why isn't this working?
ANSWER
--Lua console localizes variables to the line of the prompt. Exclude keyword 'local'
file = fs.open('filename','w')
file.write('line')
file.close()

fs.open() is returning nil. This means that either the file "filename" is already locked open by another process (rebooting your real computer should sort that out), or the ComputerCraft computer's hard drive is full (removing files should sort that, though rarely you'll need to restart the Minecraft server as well - check what fs.getFreeSpace("") tells you).

Your screenshot doesn't show you attempting to write to "disk"…

fs.open uses absolute paths.

so begin at '/' ?
/disk/file
or begin at 'disk' ?
disk/file

In ComputerCraft, the leading slash is optional. Functions that require absolute paths will see /disk/file and disk/file as the same.

Hah, you're localising "file". The Lua console localises to the line, so you discard the handle the moment you create it.

No, that's just a quirk of the Lua console - every command you put in gets its own scope. If you run that same code within a dedicated script file, then that ceases to be a problem.
