My regular computer is in the shop and I don't have VB on my replacement but I think the RichTextBox control has a built in method for reading and writing files. I think they are called LoadFile and SaveFile.

Confirmed. Both methods have 2 overloads, Save method has same overloads

 LoadFile(String)   
 LoadFile(Stream, RichTextBoxStreamType)
 LoadFile(String, RichTextBoxStreamType)

It makes more sense to ask it here where it is in context. In any case, it's just the name he gave to his menu control item.
