Hello all. Thanks to all the posters who came before me! You've been 
tremendous help. I have a quick question on Chapter 11 - Reading and 
Writing, Section 11.3:

<quote>
file_name = 'TestFile.txt'
test_string = 'Nothing!'

File.open file_name, 'w' do |f|
  f.write test_string
end

read_string = File.read file_name
puts(read_string == test_string)
</quote>

I poked around the web, but I can't find out what the 'w' is for. Can 
anyone shed any light? Muchas gracias in advance.

-Todd
