How about a tutorial? http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutor.../io/index.html

It's also not clear how much data you need to save, but the Preferences API may be appropriate:

... or encapsulate all the data of the game status in a single class, say GameStatus
and make that class Serializable; you can save or load such an object in one single
read using the serialization mechanism and set the status of your game again.

... and there is also an article on serialization in the howTos section if you decide to go that route.

Can't you click on the 'Howtos' link above, select the Java articles and find the
article in the small list?
