Why email? Just post your problem more in depth here, as long as you dont ask for people to do it for you.
OPEN, WRITE, PRINT #, GET and PUT are QB's primary file i/o statements, and you create arrays with DIM

OPEN "P4DS03.txt" FOR INPUT AS #1
INPUT#1, VAR1, VAR2, VAR3[, etc.] . . . etc. CLOSE #1 (And there's also LINE INPUT#1. If you had opened it FOR OUTPUT, you'd use "PRINT#1,".)

It's like a handle. You can open up to 255 files at one time, but you have to tell which file to write from. So you have this little identifying tag.
OPEN "blah.txt" FOR INPUT AS 1 1 is now your id for "blah.txt". So if you want to get something from it: INPUT #1, x$ now you've inputted data from file #1 (blah.txt).

The number of files that you can have open at once is limited by DOS, not QBasic. DOS will never let you open more than 255 files at once anyways.

Why would you ever need more than 255 files open at once???
