//BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new Filewriter(sf,true));
PrintWriter bw = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("myText.txt&quot);

Try this:

public void saveDialog()
{
/*...*/
try
{
PrintWriter bw = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("myText.txt&quot);
bw.write("myText.txt"
bw.flush();
}
catch(IOException e)
{
System.out.println("main():" + e);
}
}

after the flush() you will also need to close()
