However, seeing as it's not going to be out for a while, here's a rundown of the file blocks.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Mesh: A method of joining two projects between two computers over the internet. Once you connect them, you can share varaibles and broadcasts between them (variables in project 1 will appear in the ([slider] sensor value) block in the dropdown.
IP address: Each computer has it's own "name" made of several numbers, e.g 192.168.1.4 . This address can be used to connect to the other project.
Host: the project that is hosting the mesh does not need the IP address of the other project(s) connected to it.
Client: the client project(s) connect to the host using its IP address.
_______________________________________
blocks:
[host mesh] starts your project as a hosting project.
[join mesh [ ]] Joins to an existing mesh. (the IP goes into the text box)
[leave mesh] Disconnects you from mesh
(mesh IP) reports your computer's IP address.

File blocks:
file blocks let you read and write to files. Generally it is used to save things into a .txt file such as notepad, but can write to .EXE files, rich text documents and more.
you need to type in the FULL PATH to access a file.
if you have a text file called test, you would have to type out the address like so:
C:\program files\documents and settings\my documents\test.txt
Don't forget the file type at the end (.txt)
