Look for OPEN and PRINT commands in manual or internal help.
You can save anything in program file, but better keep your data in other file.
It will be something similar to:
OPEN "DATAFILE.TXT" FOR OUTPUT AS #1
PRINT #1, Variable
Close #1
OPEN "DATAFILE.TXT" FOR INPUT AS #1
INPUT #1, Variable
Close #1

Check out GET and PUT, these are better for saving information.
OPEN "DATA.XXX" FOR RANDOM AS #1
PUT #1, 1, variable
CLOSE
OPEN "DATA.XXX" FOR RANDOM AS #1
GET #1, 1, variable
CLOSE
see my FAQ for better discription of I/O commands

trying to save to your .bas files itself could be very bad, first of all Qbasic saves files in a basic format which is tough to understand (unless otherwise specified as text) and once you compile it to a dos executable, I don't think it would work any more.
In answer to your real question:
is that possible?
The answer is: yes.
There are various tutorial sites that you can learn these basic skills from. This site is not one of them. Just use any search engin and type in QBASIC for the search parameters and you should get a slue of them.
But to start you off, you should check out the Help files for the commands indicated above in the previous responces. --MiggyD
Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that amateurs built the Ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

If you are using Internet Explorer you can't jusy type in QBASIC, i posted about this earlier, for some reason IE searches your computer for what you want first. So typeing QBASIC in the address bar will open qbasic (don't ask me why), best bet is to goto google
I should have said "Just use any [red]internet[/red] search engin and ...." instead.
I just thought that it would be understood that the address bar will search the local computer first then outside connections like domains and internet gateways.
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. --MiggyD
