well the easy way to do it whould be to 1st read the hole high score file in to an array then sort it by sorce and check if the new one is high enogth to be put in.

once that is done put the HOLE array back in the file so it dose not just wirte one score but all of them that were in the file as well

when you type:


open : datafile, "topscore.txt", put 


it empties the file, and basically starts a new.. so what you need to do is:


open : datafile, "topscore.txt", get


then read everything in the file.. and then reput it..
