Jump to PostOnly opened by your program? You can save something as a different extension, but other programs will be able to open it and probably easily decipher the contents, especially if it's just text.

You can save anything you want. It's just a bag o'bytes on the disk (or whatever storage medium you're using) after all.
Just use the correct stream classes (things like ByteArrayOutputStream) and set the file flags correctly (you may want a RandomAccessFile).
