Are you sure you want to use a Rich Text editor if you're only using it to get the player's name? A simple Edit Box object will work well enough.

As for storing the information, if you just want to keep it in memory, the built-in Global Strings will work fine. If you need to save the information to disk, you have a few options:

- The INI Object saves information out to human-readable files.
- The Array Object saves binary-encoded files, but is limited in that you can only have the file include all numbers or all strings, and you have to deal with fixed dimensions.
- The Named Variable Object provides a key/value store where you can store numbers and strings, each one associated with a name (key), and save out to various file formats.
- Several other extensions also provide similar functionality.

And if you want to slip the player's name into a string, you'd use an expression like this:

"Yahoo! Hi, " + {retrieve data from object} + "!"

Where {retrieve data from object} is where you click on the "Retrieve data from an object" button and select the object you want to get the string from.
