That's not as straightforward as it may seem.

FileIO will do the job perfectly and as an added bonus you can create a
separate folder containing a text file wherever you feel is appropriate.
Specify a pathname for the file that inlcudes a new or (existing) folder

My guess is that you are using Cast Member Scripts and not Behaviors.
Cast Member Scripts do not receive a "me" parameter, so if you use...
No - I am using all behaviours - I never use Cast member scripts - I was
