how to read/write data on Android?

[mikedoub at gmail.com]

I am trying a binary file.  Is there any thing special about the type of the file?  I would not expect so.

I'm sorry, I told you wrong. I didn't mean to put you through that. 
There won't be a file named "file:data/etc". It should have been:

put specialFolderPath("engine") & slash & "titleAndUniqueIDindex.txt 
into tPath
answer "File in engine exists:" && there is a file tPath
if there is a file tPath then
   put url ("file:" & tPath into tData
end if

Does that work? If not, I'll try it tomorrow. I haven't actually tried 
including a text file with a build, but I've been including sounds using 
Copy Files and they're found okay with the above path. I also write text 
files to the documents folder and retrieve them with that path, and that 
works too.

Sorry again, you're probably pretty frustrated by now.
