Write a program that uses the following menu:
File
Open
Save As
Print
Exit
to allow the user to open an existing text file, edit it, and save the file with a specified filename. The Open command will prompt the user to input a complete text file filename such as data.txt (including the .txt file extension). The text in that file will appear in a textbox that is stretched to the size of the form window. Be sure to set the Multiline property of the textbox to True. The user will then be able to edit the text. When the user clicks the Save As menu command, he will again be prompted with another input box. He can type the same filename or another filename to save the revised version of the text file. All text files must be stored in a folder named "files" which is a subfolder of your Ch5Proj1 project folder.
Use your program to write a one-page informational paper (400-600 words) on a computer topic from this list. If you would like to use a different topic, it must be pre-approved by Mr. Minich with a written request. The paper must be 1.5 spaced with default page margins typed in Times New Roman with font size 12. You must cite your sources in MLA format on a second page.
