I wanted the code to create a file with the same
filename as the player's name (in the players subdir),
and in it I wanted the player's password.
This is the output I get (the player "foobar" doesn't
exist):

Enter character's name:
foobar
oobarEnter password:
blah
Welcome!


A file is created in the players/ dir
called "foobarfoobar" with the correct password
in it, and you see the "oobar" has replaced
the "New player!" line that I wanted in.  What
did I do wrong?
Thanks alot.
