Lua Newbie help needed on a few things

First of i would like to say i have spend a good hour or two looking around for a how to guide that i can understand.

Question 1
[indent=1]Variables [/indent]

Spoiler

I already know the basics on how to create and change a variable.
However I would like to know if it is possible to create a file E.G a Store.txt file that stores all the variables.
so that it could be called up on by any computer.
For example if a input was detected by the computer it would do x= x+1 but x would be stored in the .txt file not the program.
so that the same variable could be shown on a different program on a different computer.

Question 2
[indent=1]Wireless control[/indent]

Spoiler

How do i control a turtle from a computer so that it used the functions saved onto the computers program.

Question 3
[indent=1]Gps[/indent]

Spoiler

How do i set up a gps tower so that i could tell a turtle to got x,y,z?

Question 1:
http://www.computercraft.info/forums2/index.php?/topic/3923-basic-file-io-learn-how-to-save-data/ :P/>/>

Question 2:
There is something called 'rednet', I think you can find info about it on the wiki ;)/>/>

Question 3:
http://computercraft.info/wiki/index.php?title=Gps_%28API%29

Gps one doesn't show how to make the host tho

well yes, read the text :P/>/>

saving the file like that wont really work for what i need it for

If simple solutions do not solve your problem, then you are pushing beyond your knowledge and you should do more reading on the Lua language as a whole. The Lua 5.0 Manual will serve you well.

I actually asked the same question about a week ago about saving text into a file and for all computers to be able to read it. Well I asked it in a different way but still. Yes it is possible but you have to use rednet and it is quite a lot of work (for me atleast because I haven't used or learn about rednet before :P/>/>) So rather just use the basics and what you know for now.

Edit: Fixed quote.

im working on a wireless turtle control system. as soon as ive finsihed fixing it up il send u a link
