for the file name u can put in a dir as well like:

"C:\\compscifiles\\dan\\myfile.ai"

code:
var fileout : int
open : fileout, "highscore.txt", put


when you are doing something like that, you can specify the string and add the path to specifiy where you want the file to be created. (I think, not sure which slash was it)

code:
var fileout : int
open : fileout, "C://My Documents//highscore.txt", put

Or, you could go the Dir way:

code:

var file : int
var dirName : string := "C:\\Turing\\Programmes\\Game\\Score\\"

Dir.Change (dirName)

open : file, "highScore.txt", put
% Everything in here.
close : file
