1) Yes, look at ReadFile, WriteFile and OpenFile.

2) Not exactly an IDE, but I've definitely seen some Blitz code that works a little like a Visual editor. I just can't remember where I've seen it.

Also, I want to know if i made a button gadget, how owuld I show that if teh button is clicked, then do something, or open another form??

Open in online IDE

;main loop to handle events 
Repeat
	event = WaitEvent()
	If event = $401 ;gadget action
		source = EventSource()	
		Select source
			;main buttons
			Case CommButton
				;open comm window
				DisableGadget Mainwindow
				CommWindow = CreateWindow("Communications Setup", 100, 100, 200, 200, Mainwindow, 1)
				CreateButton("OK", 80, 140, 40, 20, CommWindow)
		End Select
	EndIf ;gadget action
	If event = $803 ;Close (X) box pressed
		source = EventSource()
		If source = Mainwindow Then Exit
		If source = CommWindow
			EnableGadget Mainwindow
			FreeGadget CommWindow
			CommWindow = 0			
		EndIf
	EndIf
Forever
